Barcelona striker Luis Suarez was delighted to come away from Valencia with victory.
Barca edged the game 3-2 in a bitter clash.
"This win allows us to keep calm and continue believing in ourselves. Without doubt it was a tough game, which we knew it would be because Valencia always put you under pressure at Mestalla," said Suarez.
"But we've demonstrated who we are and we did it on the pitch. Our ambition brought us the victory today, because we didn't drop our heads when the second goal went in and we didn't settle for the draw. We always want to win and we've proven that in Valencia."
