Barcelona Goalkeeper Victor Valdes Said His Team Did Well Against Atletico Madrid
He says Barca must make use of being top of the table...
By Paul Madden
Valdes became the third highest capped Barca goalkeeper at the Vicente Calderon but it wasn't a good night as he was beaten twice, by Diego Forlan and Simao Sabrosa, as Atleti put the champions to the sword for the third season in a row in this fixture.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic had pulled one back for the champions but they never looked likely to equalise, however Valdes praised the performance.
"The team played a good game, especially in defence. Here at the Calderon, it is always hard to get points. We continue as leaders [in the league] and must make use of it," he told AS afterwards.
