La Liga 2016/17: FC Barcelona 4-2 Valencia, 5 Talking Points

Lionel Messi celebrates after netting a penalty against Valencia

#3 Samuel Umtiti's unbelievable streak still going strong

FC Barcelona have not lost a league game when Samuel Umtiti has started

The youngster has a unique record to his name which is taking Barcelona to greater heights in the league. The Catalans have not lost a league game when the Frenchman has started, which is 17 games running. Umtiti's absence has cost his team dearly with his team winning just two games out of 11.

His importance has risen to such heights that the club sees him as the long-term central defender for the next five years.

Along with Neymar, it was Umtiti's absence which cost them the game against Deportivo La Coruna which just goes to show the defender's prowess at the back.
