Luis Enrique: Madrid deserved to win | FC Barcelona
Luis Enrique admitted that Real Madrid were superior this evening in their 3-1 victory at the Bernabeu. "I was looking for a different type of game, not so open, and with better defence on our behalf." The Barça manager knows there are mistakes that need correcting after Madrid turned around Neymar's initial goal. "We started out well but then they had clearer chances. We could have made it 2-0, but overall it was a tough first half."
Gerard Pique says result justified | FC Barcelona
Gerard Pique was the first to offer his analysis as soon as the final whistle faded into the night. He said that "in the first half it wasn't so bad, however after their second goal we tried to attack more. And here in the Bernabeu that just opens it up a little more for them to do some damage on the counterattack. But I think the result is fair."
Claudio Bravo leaves record at 754 minutes | FC Barcelona
Claudio Bravo saw his record for minutes without conceding at the start of the season in La Liga end at 754 minutes. It was a penalty courtesy of Cristiano Ronaldo in the 34th minute that ended it.

Valencia up to third | Sky Sports Football
Los Che were beaten at Deportivo La Coruna last week but showed no signs of the first defeat of their league season affecting them at the Mestalla, with Germany defender Shkodran Mustafi opening the scoring after 13 minutes. Dani Parejo headed the hosts further in front before David Lomban compounded a miserable evening for Elche by turning into his own net just after the hour mark although Jonathas grabbed a consolation in time added on.

Etxeita drove home low 12 minutes into the second half to give the visitors some reason for cheer in a campaign which has so far brought precious little cause for optimism.

It moved them a point behind their opponents, who themselves have only two league wins to their name this term.
