The coach went with his regular line up for the Valencia game

Ernesto Valverde picked his strongest available team to face Valencia, despite the defeat by Roma in the week and his stars looking tired.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen in goal, and a back four of Sergi Roberto, Jordi Alba, Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti. 

In the middle Ivan Rakitic is absent and replaced by Paulinho, joining Iniesta and Sergio Busquets.

In attack Luis Suarez and Leo Messi are supported by Coutinho, and Ousmane Dembele is on the bench.
