After a few very intense days off the pitch, in which the FC Barcelona and Xavi Hernández have agreed to remain united at least until June 30, 2025, the Barça team returned to activity with a victory against the Valencia CF in the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium in the match corresponding to the 33rd day of LaLiga EA Sports 2023/24 (4-2).
With the League virtually sentenced for Real Madrid, Xavi’s Barça has the objective of finish the course in second position to ensure participation in the next edition of the Spanish Super Cup. The duel against Girona next Saturday will be decisive in this sense.
These have been all the goals of FC Barcelona – Valencia CF played this Monday, April 29.
1-0, Fermín López (min. 22)
Great header to put Barça ahead after a good culé start. Cancelo’s back pass for Raphinha who makes a millimeter cross for the youth player. Mamardashvili can’t do anything to prevent the El Campillo midfielder from scoring. Fermín’s eighth goal this season, his fifth in LaLiga.
1-1, Hugo Duro (min. 27)
Very serious mistake by Ter Stegen that Valencia does not waste to tie. Long pass from Peter to Hugo Duro that the German goalkeeper, attentive, intercepts… for later attempt an unnecessary dribble that ends in loss and subsequent loss of both visitors.
1-2, to the Ashes (min. 38)
From Ter Stegen’s mistake… to Ronald Araujo’s. The Uruguayan center commits an incomprehensible penalty on Peter Federico, very active in the first half of the match, which Pepelu is in charge of converting into a goal from eleven meters. Valencia comes back in Montjuïc.
2-2, Robert Lewandowski (min. 49)
The Pole, with a lot of suspense, ties the duel again. Very good header from a corner taken by Gündogan. The VAR reviewed it due to a possible positional offside by Fermín. The referee validated it without having to go to the monitor.
3-2, Robert Lewandowski (min. 82)
Center forward double. Headed goal, after a corner taken by Gündogan, finished parallel to the goal line by Araujo and the Pole collecting the Uruguayan’s ‘assist’. Barça takes the lead again.
4-2, Robert Lewandowski (min. 90+3)
‘Lewy’ culminates his private exhibition with a great goal from a free kick. Unappealable hat-trick to help his team regain victory after the defeats against PSG and Real Madrid.
