Liga – FC Barcelona Wins in Valencia Thanks to a Double From Lewandowski.

The Polish striker struck on his first two chances in a tight match that seemed to be off to a bad start, first by responding to the opening goal from Spaniard Hugo Duro (45th + 5, 1-1) then by converting a penalty caused by Raphinha at the start of the second half (49th, 2-1).

Barça thus takes second place in the standings, tied with Celta Vigo, while awaiting the entry into the competition of Real Madrid, the reigning champion, on Sunday in Mallorca (9:30 p.m.), and Atlético on Monday in Villarreal (9:30 p.m.).
