Barcelona 1-2 Valencia: 5 talking points

Valencia
Valencia pulled off a shock win over Barcelona

5) Luis Enrique has a mess to sort out

Luis Enrique
Enrique looks to be a man under extreme pressure

Luis Enrique is a man clearly in need of answers, most of them on the pitch. The season was cruising along for the Catalan favourite before everything seemed to capitulate of its own accord. Barcelona played a near full-strength team today against one that has been struggling all season.

Even on the day Valencia looked there for the taking, no one seemed to manage to achieve that goal from the Catalan side. Not only does Luis Enrique’s first team look clueless all of a sudden, Enrique himself looks like a man who has completely lost all semblance of patience himself.

One glance at the touchline and you could see Luis Enrique jumping, ranting and screaming at the performance Barcelona were putting in and there was not a thing he could do about it. In fact, it was very surprising that he chose not to use his bench to change things up at all. This could be the mark of a man who has lost all control over proceedings.

If that isn’t the case, Luis Enrique has a lot to sort out and fast.
