Barcelona Faces Valencia in Crucial La Liga Match This Sunday

BARCELONA, Spain — FC Barcelona will host Valencia CF on Sunday, September 14, as both teams look to secure vital points in La Liga EA Sports 2025-26.

Barcelona, currently sitting in fourth place with 7 points, comes into this match after a recent 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano. Coach Hansi Flick emphasizes the need for a victory to keep pace with league leaders Real Madrid, who have collected the maximum 12 points so far this season.

Valencia, on the other hand, sits in ninth place with 4 points after a mixed start to the campaign. They opened the season with a 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad, suffered a 1-0 defeat to Osasuna, but regained momentum with a commanding 3-0 victory over Getafe in their last match.

The upcoming match will take place at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, as Barcelona’s home turf, Camp Nou, remains unavailable. This will mark their first home game of the season. Fans are eagerly anticipating the clash, which promises to deliver excitement.

“We need to get back to winning ways,” said Flick in a pre-match press conference. “Every point counts in the league, and we aim to put on a show for our supporters.”

Valencia’s coach, Carlos Corberán, expressed optimism following the win against Getafe. “We know it will be a tough challenge, but we believe we can surprise them and take something away from here,” he stated.

The match will kick off at 3:00 PM ET and will be broadcast on channels such as ESPN Deportes and Fubo Sports.
