MADRID, Oct 18 — Ansu Fati came to the rescue again on Sunday by scoring a sensational goal and earning a penalty in a 3-1 victory over Valencia as Barcelona got a big week off to a winning start.

After losing their first two games to Bayern Munich and Benfica, Barca sit bottom of the group, meaning a victory over Kiev is all-but essential. There were some short-term boosts too, with Sergio Aguero coming on as a substitute in the final minutes once the result was secure to make his Barcelona debut, four months after joining from Manchester City.

In the 13th minute, he was more clinical, squaring up two Valencia defenders before playing inside to Depay and bursting between both of them. He took the ball back, looked up and whipped the ball from the left of the area and inside the far right-hand post. In the second half, Ansu tested Jasper Cillessen again after Barca had men over down the left but Valencia looked dangerous too, with Carlos Soler's drive coming back off the post before Goncalo Guedes forced a smart save from Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
