MADRID, April 15 -- Rumors of crisis at the Camp Nou were proved to be false in matchday 32 of the Liga Santander as FC Barcelona recovered from the 3-0 defeat to Roma which saw them crash out of the Champions League on Tuesday with a 2-1 win at home to Valencia on Saturday afternoon.
Valencia travelled to Barcelona with 25 points from a possible 27 and possibly deserved more from a game in which Barca keeper Ter Stegen pulled off a series of fine saves to deny Goncalo Guedes and Rodrigo Moreno.
However, with Phillipe Coutinho producing his best display since arriving at the club, Barca showed that if you miss chances they will make you pay, and goals from Luis Suarez and Samuel Umtiti (both from Coutinho passes) gave Barca three morale boosting points a week ahead of their Cup final against Sevilla, while Dani Parejo netted a late penalty for Valencia.
The win also means Barca sets a new unbeaten record of 39 games in the league and now need just 7 points to win this season's title
Atletico Madrid remain second after a routine 3-0 win at home to Levante with goals from Angel Correa, Antoine Griezmann and Fernando Torres, who netted his 100th league goal for the club days after confirming he will be leaving Atletico at the end of the current campaign.
Real Madrid returned to third place with a 2-1 win away to Malaga, who are now on the verge of being mathematically a second division side.
Madrid rested Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale after Wednesday's Champions League qualification, but had too much firepower for Malaga, taking the game with goals from Isco on 29 minutes and Casemiro after 63 before Diego Rolan scored a 93rd minute consolation for the home team.
