The Croatian admitted Barcelona started badly but improved

Ivan Rakitic spoke after Barcelona's 1-1 draw against Valencia at Mestalla. The midfielder told Movistar "we started badly but after getting level we were better."

"The goal came from a corner that came in badly, at medium height, but we then scored. Now comes the international break that should help us strengthen," said the Croatian midfielder.

"La Liga is going well. It's nice to see everyone fight to be top. But going back to the game, we were superior. One one hand I'm content but on the other sad for not taking the three points."
