Barcelona survive early scare to open seven-point gap

Barcelona came from behind to beat Real Valladolid 2-1 and stretch their lead at the top of La Liga to seven points ahead of Real Madrid.

Valladolid shocked everyone early on, going 1-0 up just six minutes in when Ivan Sanchez got on the end of Raul Moro’s through ball and pinged in a cross that took a deflection and snuck in at the far post past Marc-André ter Stegen.

Hansi Flick's side eventually got going, with Raphinha levelling things up in the 54th minute, he smashed in a lovely half-volley after the keeper pushed out Lamine Yamal’s cross.

Then, just six minutes later, Gerard Martin teed up Fermin Lopez, who smashed one in from distance to complete the comeback.

Real Madrid, who head to Barcelona on 11 May, can cut the gap back to four points if they beat Celta Vigo at home on Sunday.
