Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes laughs off suggestions that the Catalan outfit are not the team that they once were.

Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has insisted that the Spanish outfit have not lost their edge.

The Catalan side have faced criticism this season due to their perceived change of style, but they recorded an impressive 2-0 win over Manchester City in the first leg of their last-16 clash in the Champions League at the Etihad on Tuesday evening.

"We have a good feeling about this, especially because of how we played and how we pressured them," he told reporters at a press conference.

"Barca are always a rival that you have to think about. There's a lot of talk about how we lack the pressure we had in years past. We know that in a Champions League match you always have to suffer through at least 20 minutes of play."

Barcelona were knocked out in the semi-finals last season by eventual winners Bayern Munich.
