In an epic clash between Barcelona and Real Valladolid, the Catalan giants have historically dominated with 66 wins out of 99 previous meetings, while Real Valladolid only managed 17 wins and 16 draws. The head-to-head record in league games also favors Barcelona, with 62 wins out of 93, scoring 217 goals and conceding 77.
Despite Barcelona’s historical advantage, Real Valladolid secured a surprising 3-1 victory in May 2023 with goals from Cyle Larin and Gonzalo Plata, while Barcelona’s Andreas Christensen scored an own goal and Robert Lewandowski managed a late consolation goal. Real Valladolid’s last three wins over Barcelona have all been at home, with their last away victory dating back to November 1997.
Barcelona had a seven-game winning streak against Real Valladolid before their defeat in the 2022-23 season, but they bounced back with a four-game winning streak at the start of the 2024-25 La Liga campaign. Real Valladolid, predicted to fight relegation, will be looking for revenge in the upcoming reverse league fixture in May 2025.
