Valencia 3-1 Barcelona result, stats and report

Villarreal came from behind to beat Valencia 2-1 at Mestalla in a match that had everything: a penalty, five yellow cards, two red cards, and a stoppage-time winner from Georges Mikautadze. Valencia imploded when they needed composure most.

Paris Saint-Germain beat Barcelona 4-2 in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, with Désiré Doué and late goals from Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz putting the game to bed after Barcelona briefly threatened a comeback.

Barcelona have crushed every opponent put in front of them across their last five La Liga matches. Villarreal arrive at the Nou Camp on Sunday with a mixed bag of form and a squad carrying injuries. Something has to give.

Rayo Vallecano host a Valencia side riddled with injuries and short on wins. Saturday's fixture has the look of a match where desire and basics decide everything.

Barcelona arrive at this one having scored 22 goals in their last five La Liga matches. Deportivo Alaves arrive having won none of their last five. Work that one out yourself.

Barcelona arrive at El Clasico on the back of five straight La Liga wins and 22 goals scored. Real Madrid have questions to answer, but they always show up for this one.

José Mourinho makes his first Clásico return as Real Madrid manager on Sunday, back at the Camp Nou where he began as Bobby Robson's translator before becoming Barcelona's fiercest rival. Three months into his second Madrid spell, his calmer public tone is undercut by the same calculated gamesmanship, including a press no-show designed to protect his touchline availability.

Barcelona have reported PSG to UEFA over a pre-match tifo showing a blood-covered chainsaw destroying the Barça crest, but Article 16's €10,000 maximum first-offence fine means the punishment is unlikely to match the outrage. The complaint comes after PSG beat a depleted Barça 4-2, with García, Koundé, Dembélé and Olmo all affected.
