On a roll in La Liga!

FC Barcelona are in fine form in La Liga. The 4-1 win in Valencia was not just about points but also about the recovery of their game. After some below par performances earlier in the campaign, things are really starting to come together, and the team has further consolidated its position in the top four in the table, which earns the right to play in the Champions League next season.

With five wins and four draws, Barça have now gone nine games without a single defeat.

In La Liga, there have been four away wins (Valencia, Alavés, Mallorca and Villarreal), four draws (Espanyol, Granada, Sevilla and Osasuna) and not a single defeat.
