Valencia 0-1 Barcelona: Salvation by Lewandowski at 90+4′

Barcelona were better, they came close to goal several times, but it took 94 minutes of the game before they scored. Robert Lewandowski’s goal was enough to win 1-0 against Valencia in the “Mestalla” on the 12th matchday of the La Liga and lead to a change of sides after being eliminated from the Champions League.

The Catalans were pretty aggressive, they had a goal with the Pole and two big moments with Ansu Fati in the 1st half. In one, the Cameroonian scored but the goal didn’t count due to an offside by Lewandowski, who touched the ball before his teammate took it, and in the second, Giorgi Mamardashvili said ‘no’.

The 2nd half started with a goal from Samuel Lino, but that didn’t count as Marcos Andre (replacing the injured Edinson Cavani) made a hand earlier. It was one of the few good moments for the ‘bats’ as Barcelona regained the ‘reins’ of the game and missed further chances, mainly with Ferran Torres. The irritation (especially Gavi’s) increased over time and remained level until the 90+4 and Lewandowski’s tackled goal.
