Valladolid 1-2 FC Barcelona
FC Barcelona staged a second-half comeback to secure a 2-1 win over Real Valladolid and edged closer to the LaLiga title on Saturday.
Goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen started for Barcelona after a long lay-off while Ansu Fati and Pau Victor also started.

With the match favouring the host, Barca manager Hansi Flick were forced to alter personnel as the lively Lamal came on for the injured Dani Rodriguez.
Barcelona went to the break trailing, but were out firing at the resumption as substitute Raphinha latched on a rebound from goalkeeper Andre Ferreira to finish smartly.
The league leaders gained total control after levelling and bagged the winner when Fermin Lopez got inside the area to apply a first-time finish from Gerard Martin’s delivery.
Barca nearly had a third towards the final ten minutes when Hector Fort charged in the box after combining with Lamal and fired off the base of the post.
With time running out, Valladolid pushed for a draw late on but a tremendous save from Ter Stegen repelled Juanmi Latasa and guided the Blaugrana to victory.
