Valencia shouldn't worry about a 7-0 defeat, currently we're not the same team either, unfortunately.
I started to type "fatigued, not diva" but then realized they are fatigued because they are divas that throw tantrums when benched for their own good.
Just look at Iniesta. Guy who won everything with Barca and Spain and still accepts running for Neymar and Messi who are both younger than him, plays more defensive and never complains when benched.

Yea, a bit sad a team we beat 4-0 on their home ground this season is in the CL semifinal, and us aren't. But as I said, that's the competition. You play a bad game against the wrong team, you're out. Imagine Real Madrid playing the game they did vs. Wolfsburg on Calderon and losing 0-2. They would be out just like that, there's no "remontada".
Bayern, another example, should have already been out when they played a poor game vs Juventus at home, but they were lucky that Juve scored 3 goals, and the ref. allowed only 2.
In CL this season, no team is playing great. All of them have problems. Real lost 2-0 to Wolfsburg, Atletico barely qualified vs PSV, Bayern went through with some outrageous calls from the ref (clear pen. for Juve in the first leg, and legit goal in the 2nd), us hit a poor period at the wrong time, PSG is a mess with injuries, City is having an awful season in Premier League etc. etc.
The difference is we payed for our mistakes, while others were lucky to get away with them, because of various reasons (none of those reasons that depended on them, i.e. major luck with the draws or key decisions at key moments from the referees).

Also those teams didn't have the schedule from hell either.. Looking back, man that was a brutal stretch of games. Villarreal, break, Madrid, Atleti, R.Sociedad away, Atleti, Valencia. No time for rotations at all.

If only we didn't hit this slump, we would have had a great shot at retaining the treble. Such a waste

I agree, the CL is always like that, with a bit of luck we could have ended the tie in the first leg, and if we came out with the right attitude in scoring the first goal at the Calderon and not being so timid we'd probably have found ourselves in the last 4, even while playing far from our best, this is football though. La Liga and Copa del Rey will still be an awesome season. Let's finally play like Barca tomorrow lads

I realize everyone is still bummed out about Champions League exit but Barca still has a lot to play for.
Path on winning domestic double starts this weekend with Valencia at Camp Nou
