    FT: Barcelona 5-2 Valencia!! Al over here in an easy win for Barca. Fati and de Jong scored early on for Barca before Gameiro got back into the game. Pique then took advantage of a Cillessen error before Suarez added two more. Gomez got a mere consolation right at the death. Celades couldn't get off to a winning start as Valencia start. That's all from us. Thanks for your company and hope to see you again soon!
