Barcelona came from behind to rescue a 1-1 draw at Valencia on Sunday in a much hyped match as the two sides are yet to lose a game.
Valencia stunned the La Liga leader in the 60th minute when Rodrigo scored for the home side.
Goncalo Guedes passed to Jose Luis Gaya to drill a cross into the six yard area and Rodrigo got between two Barca players to stab home.
Barca were throwing everyone forward and it required a fine save by Neto to beat away Luis Suarez’s attempt after a mistake by Geoffrey Kondogbia.
But Jordi Alba struck in the 82nd minute of the game to rescue a draw for Barcelona.
With the draw, Barcelona are now four points clear at the top of La Liga and eight points clear of their fierce rival, Real Madrid.
