The national team break somewhat forgot the disappointment of Barcelona, ​​which looked miserable in the losses against Atletico Madrid and in the Champions League.

But last night (Sunday) the Catalans presented a slightly upgraded version at the Camp Nou and defeated Valencia 1: 3, a team that has caused them a lot of trouble in recent years.

This game also started badly for Barça, who fell behind in the fifth minute from a goal by Jose Gaia, but Enso Patti, who started and looked great, equalized with a beautiful goal and squeezed a penalty before the break, which was translated by Memphis Depai into second.

Will this ability be enough for the Clasico in a week?

Not sure, but what is more, Barça fans can draw encouragement from the fact that Filippa Coutinho has finally scored and also from the debut of Sergio Aguero, who came in as a substitute towards the end.

Coach Ronald Koeman enjoyed the collaboration between Memphis and Anso Patti and said: "Anso and Memphis complement each other. Both can play as strikers or come from the left wing. They can switch positions and I enjoy seeing them together."

And what did Sergio Aguero have to say?

"It was amazing to hear the crowd calling my name at Camp Nou," Cohn said, "I'm sure we'll have fun together."

Filippa Coutinho, who has finally conquered and released a lot of pressure, said: "I still have the same passion. After everything I went through, it's hard. It feels great to play and conquer again."

Frankie de Jong praised Patti after the game: "He is a very important player with his speed and dribble. He has qualities and he scores goals. We are really happy that he came back. It was important to win, we need to gain confidence."
