Messi and MiguelBarcelona host Valencia at the Camp Nou for the second time this month when they play their league fixture on Sunday evening.
The reigning champions beat Los Che 2-0 on February 8 in the second leg of their Copa del Rey tie, having been held to a 1-1 draw at the Mestalla. Earlier in the season, they scored two apiece in their league meeting at the same venue.
Going into the match 13 points behind bitter rivals and league leaders Real Madrid, Barca must realistically win every match until the end of the season — including the second clasico of the season in Catalonia — and hope Jose Mourinho's side slip up.
However remote Barca's title hopes are, a match between them and Valencia is always an exciting prospect. There has only been one goalless draw in matches between these two teams in the past 16 seasons.
