WELCOME TO THE ESTADIO DE MESTALLA!!! The spectacular home of Valencia is the site of a huge La Liga game between the hosts and Barcelona, who come into this one looking to rebound from the painful defeat with a crucial victory in the league that will keep them close to leaders Real Madrid in the race for the title. But Valencia always provide a brutal test in front of their amazing fans, and this won’t be easy for the Catalans. This should be fun, and you’re welcome to join us to follow and comment all the action. Vamos!

Matchday Thread Rules
We don’t have a lot of rules here, but there are a few things to keep in mind when joining our matchday threads:
Even if the referee sucks or we lose the game, watch the swearing. It’s just unnecessary. Also, don’t discuss illegal streaming links. Those who do it will be warned, and those who post links will be instantly banned. Finally, be nice to each other. This is a Barcelona community and we don’t need to offend one another.
Have fun with the game! Forever and ever, no matter the competition, VISCA EL BARÇA!
