After a highly tactical showdown of Thursday night in which Luis Enrique had the upper hand over Pep Guardiola it is time for FC Barcelona to return to La Liga action on Saturday.
While you cannot really say that the team clicked and scored four with the merit of form against City as it was Messi who scored 3 and City had to do away with Bravo after his red..therefor the away clash at Mestalla could be equally important and exciting fixture as it has always been.
For Valencia the team is not on ventilator anymore with an experienced coach Prandelli been appointed who got the team to a winning start against Sporting.
Prandelli "I'll sleep well because I know there's no formula to stop Lionel Messi"
There were two surprising injuries to add to the list for Catalans as Arda and Rafinha also missed out on team squad with small injuries along with Pique,Alba,Cillesen.
It is yet to be seen if Alcacer will start against his former team but he has a chance to come from bench and score his long awaited first Barça goal.
Stay tuned to La Liga Cafe for line-up updates.
