On Wednesday evening in the late hours, in the central Spain "Liga BBVA" championship matches of the twenty-sixth round, the only goal scored by Lionel Messi determined the victory of the "Barcelona" footballers, who are leading the championship, against the team of Mariaus Stankevičiaus "Valencia." The high-speed duel at the "Mestalla" stadium was better started by the Catalans, who had three good opportunities to score in the first half, but neither Messi nor David Villa took advantage of their chances. In the second half, the 'bats' took the initiative and created several dangerous attacks themselves, but the accurate strike of the best player in the world of the last two years in the 77th minute brought three points to Josep Guardiola's troops. The defender representing the "Valencia" team from the Lithuanian national team played the full 90 minutes and seemed confident, but couldn't stop the productive pass from Adriano, a player from the "Barcelona" club. The match between "Villarreal" and "Hercules" from Alicante ended with a minimal 1-0 victory for the 'Yellow Submarines.'
