Barcelona coach Xavi: We expect to defeat Valencia

Barcelona coach Xavi says they face Valencia tonight in good shape.

Barca meet Los Che on the back of defeat at Real Madrid.

But Xavi says: "We are good, we have the goal of achieving second place.

"We have the minimum goal close, to be in the Champions League. Valencia is a rival that has a lot of merit, Baraja is doing a great job. Dynamic team, with speed up front, young people, competes well... but we play at home and we hope to get the three points.

"I cannot control the environment, we are focused on achieving that second place. Valencia is a difficult, aggressive rival and you ask me little. What Baraja does has a lot of merit and this is what worries us or occupies us, not the planning for the next season."
