An own goal by Barca midfielder Ivan Rakitic put Valencia ahead after
27 minutes at the Nou Camp and Santi Mina added a second just before
half time to stun the Barcelona supporters.
Lionel Messi scored his 500th career goal to reduce the deficit after
64 minutes but the struggling hosts, who have squandered a nine-point
lead, could not find an equaliser.
Despite Barcelona registering a third successive league defeat for
the first time since 2003, Luis Enrique remained upbeat about his team’s
chances of winning the title.
“We’ve got a marvellous challenge, if we win the five games remaining we will be champions,” he told
Valencia’s 2-1 win over Barcelona at Camp Nou has left the Spanish La Liga title race wide open with only 1 point separating the top three.
With only 5 more games to play La Liga title race is likely to go right
down the wire.
