BR - Barcelona claimed a 3-1 over Valladolid this Saturday, stretching their streak of games without a loss to 17 and opening up a 16-point lead over Real Madrid.
The victory was particularly important due to the absence of regular head coach Tito Vilanova, who was recovering from an operation on his parotid gland. It was also the first win of Jordi Roura, formerly Vilanova's assistant coach, as temporary head coach.
