Barcelona heads into a crucial league tie with Valencia on the back of an impressive Champions League win. Sunday's trip to the Mestalla will be no straight-forward tie, but the Blaugrana has restored their confidence after beating Tottenham 4-2 at Wembley on Wednesday.

Lionel Messi bagged a brace in that victory, putting an end to their worrisome winless streak. However, they will return to La Liga now and an upturn in form in the Primera Division is needed.

Before the midweek victory in Europe, Valverde's side had not tasted victory for three straight games in the Spanish top-flight. Their shock defeat to Leganes came in between two disappointing home draws against Girona and Athletic Club.

However, Barcelona's biggest rivals have also stumbled along the season, mainly Real Madrid. For this reason, the misfortunes of Messi and Co. hasn't severely affected their standing, as they still top the league.

Valencia's season has been worse so far, having won only one in their opening seven games. That sole victory came in the latest Spanish Primera Division round, leaving them 15th in the table with only eight points.

However, the Blanquinegros has proven to be a difficult opponent to overcome at the Mestalla for Barcelona. Two of the Catalan giant's last three trips there in the league have ended in draws, with only an injury time goal from Lionel in the previous season earning them that away win.

Will the reigning champion face similar troubles on Sunday? Tune in to this tie to find out if Barcelona's domestic winless run will come to an end or persist.
