Valencia, managed by Pako Ayestaran, just beat Barça at the Camp Nou. I watched mostly the 2nd half in which well, they might have been a bit lucky and Diego Alves made some very good saves, but still it was nice to watch how well organized their defensive system was - which reminded me of LFC under Rafa Benitez.
Their back line was impeccable, forcing Suarez offside on a number of occasions, and there was never one of them dropping unnecessarily deep as has happened to us recently with Skrtel or Sakho.
That German CB Mustafi looks very, very good. As does André Gomes, their Portuguese midfielder.
