Barcelona 2-1 Valencia: 5 Talking Points

#1 Can Barcelona gloss over the rough-patch with an unbeaten run in the league?

Can they put the disappointment of losing out on the treble behind them?

With the dream of a treble ending in the most horrific manner possible, as far as Barcelona are concerned, Barcelona will be hoping they can now go on and finish the season without a single result in the lost column.

After the tragic loss in the Champions League to the relatively weaker opposition, and as a result Messi almost destined to see his arch nemesis win his sixth Ballon d'Or if Real do go all the way in Europe, Barcelona have a shot to rectify their mistake by etching their names in the history books.

They currently hold the record for the longest unbeaten run in Spain with 39 games undefeated but the crowning glory will be if they manage to get through the entire season underway without losing a single game.

If they do manage to achieve the feat, they will be receiving a golden trophy instead of the regular silverware at the end of the season, like Arsenal did back in 2004.
