Three talking points from Barcelona's win over Valencia (Playing for 90)

Barcelona needed a late winner from Robert Lewandowski to get a win over Valencia. Here are three talking points from the match.

In the occasions where he would get the ball on the left, he’d try to dribble inside the box only to be snuffed out by the defense or have his attempt on goal blocked. He’s silenced some of the doubters and a contract extension is now on the cards. Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha both started out the season strong.
