Barcelona vs. Valencia: Head-to-head record and past meetings after La Liga contest

Barcelona returned to winning ways in style as they smashed Valencia 6-0 in their first home match of the 2025-26 season on Sunday night.

The Catalan giants, who entered the September international break off the back of a 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano, made it 10 points from four La Liga fixtures thanks to their sensational win, lifting them to second in the standings.

Valencia, meanwhile, have four points to show from their opening four matches of the campaign, leaving them 12th in the division ahead of the next set of fixtures in Spain's top flight.

Here, Sports Mole looks at the head-to-head record and past meetings between the two sides after their contest this weekend.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 231

Valencia wins: 59

Draws: 57

Barcelona wins: 115

Barcelona have tackled Valencia on 231 occasions throughout their history, and the Catalan giants lead the head-to-head record, having won 115 times to Valencia's 59, while there have also been 57 draws between the two teams.

Following on from Barcelona's 7-1 win in January 2025, which proved to be Valencia's worst La Liga defeat since March 1955, Hansi Flick's side secured another dominant victory over their opponents in September, claiming a 6-0 win thanks to goals from Fermin Lopez (two), Robert Lewandowski (two) and Raphinha (two).

Valencia have not managed to beat Barcelona since January 2020, which was a 2-0 home success in La Liga; since then, the pair have met 11 times in the league, and Barcelona have posted eight wins.

The points were shared in a 1-1 draw at Mestalla in the league in 2023-24, but Barcelona managed to triumph when the pair locked horns on the opening weekend of the 2024-25 La Liga campaign.

Valencia took the lead in the 44th minute of the contest through Hugo Duro, with the forward heading into the back of the net. However, Robert Lewandowski levelled the scores before the half-time break, and the striker then netted his second of the match from the penalty spot early in the second period to secure the win for Hansi Flick's side.

The last non-La Liga game between the two sides took place in the quarter-finals of last season's Copa del Rey, with Barcelona recording a 5-0 win.

Los Che have only beaten Barcelona on three occasions in all competitions since November 2014, while they have overcome the Catalan side just four times since March 2008, demonstrating Barcelona's dominance.

In La Liga, the two teams have locked horns on 181 occasions throughout history, with Barcelona winning 92 times, but Valencia have also posted 43 league victories, which is certainly a respectable number against this opposition.

Barcelona have won nine of the last 10 league meetings between the two sides, while they have lost just once to Los Che in Spain's top flight since April 2016.

Lionel Messi is unsurprisingly the leading goalscorer in this particular fixture, finding the back of the net on 27 occasions against Valencia during his time at Barcelona. Cesar Rodriguez is in second on 18, while Luis Suarez managed 12 goals against Valencia during his time with Barcelona.
