Andres Iniesta suffer nasty looking injury against Valencia
At the age of 32, Andres Iniesta must know his Barcelona career is coming to an end.
The Spanish playmaker has had an incredible career at Camp Nou, playing over 600 times for the Catalan club.
But it looks as though Iniesta may not be able to add to that tally in the coming weeks or months. That’s because he was stretchered off against Valencia this afternoon with a nasty looking injury.
Valencia fans throw objects at Barcelona players after Leo Messi’s last second penalty
What a match at the Mestalla
Barcelona collected an important three points in dramatic circumstances on Saturday night, as the Catalans needed to wait until extra time at the end of the match to beat Valencia.
And the match winner? Leo Messi, of course. It was his second goal of the game.
Valencia fans hurl bottles
As the barca players celebrated Messi’s winner, the home fans got nasty.
Missiles were hurled from the stands down on the Catalans, and a water
bottle fell in the middle of the players, and clearly hit Luis Suarez

Neymar was also left on the turf after the Brazilian was seemingly hit in the head.
Valencia will surely get fined for the behaviour of their fans.
Iniesa will be out for 3 months!!!
Iniesta has partial tear to knee ligament. More tests tomorrow. Early guess is 3 months out.
Lionel Messi added to Argentina squad for crucial qualifier vs. Brazil
Barcelona star Lionel Messi on Friday was included in Argentina's squad for crucial November World Cup qualifiers against Brazil and Colombia.
Coach Edgardo Bauza omitted Manchester United defender Marco Rojo but otherwise made only four changes to the Albiceleste, who lost at home to Paraguay last month and are perched precariously in fifth place in the CONMEBOL table.
Messi returns to the team for the first time since scoring the lone goal in Argentina's 1-0 win over Uruguay in September. He did not play in Argentina's 2-2 draw in Venezuela due to a groin injury, opting instead to return to Spain for therapy and to prepare for La Liga.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner also sat out Argentina's October qualifiers, and the team struggled to a 2-2 draw vs. Peru and a 1-0 loss to Paraguay.
Bauza added Racing midfielder Marcos Acuna and Sao Paulo defender Julio Buffarini to the squad as well.
In qualifying, Argentina have won all three of the games in which the Barcelona forward has played but only one of the seven he has missed
