Xavi and Barcelona turn focus towards their La Liga campaign as they take on Valencia on Saturday. The Blaugrana were denied a Champions League knockout spot even before the midweek 3-0 defeat to Bayern, while Valencia come into the game with Edinson Cavani scoring in the 1-2 loss to Mallorca.
Starting their domestic run with a goalless draw, Barcelona were on a eight-game winning streak in the league before the 3-1 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid in the Clasico clash but have hence recovered, albeit only domestically, with wins over Villarreal and Athletic Club.
Meanwhile, the hosts will be looking to recover from their first defeat in six games as they could prevent Robert Lewandowski and co. from going level on points with league leaders Real Madrid at least until the latter take to the pitch.
