Copa: Barcelona 1 - 1 Valencia (Deification Edition)
By Isaiah | February 28th, 2008The game came down to the hands of a man Ray Hudson screamed was a "black jungle cat" and yet another late, late, late heroic strike from Xavi. If not for Timo Hildebrand's freakish ability to tell where the ball was going and his absurd luck, the game wo
