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

#5 The race for La Liga crown heats up

The Catalans are just two points behind Real Madrid

Since being almost out of race in both the league and Europe, Barcelona have done miraculously well to still be in the running in all competitions. Their incredible win over Paris Saint-Germain has infused them with a new found confidence and belief which has helped them in being neck and neck with Real Madrid in La Liga.

Though they are still behind Real Madrid, the remaining fixtures are kind to Barcelona than to Madrid, which may see a shift in power at the top. Along with the two La Liga giants, Sevilla are also on the coattails of the two, just six points behind Barcelona in the table.

A win over Valencia has re-ignited the title race which may even go to the last day of the campaign with Real Madrid expected to play their game in hand in the second last week of the season.
