Victor Valdes Injury

[Vito]

Does the season ending injury to Barca goalie Valdes hurt their chances of winning the title this year in the league and in the Champions League?

Their backup is an 38 year old who hasn't gotten a lot of starts this season. Against Real Madrid or Bayern, that's a huge downgrade.

Pinto plays every Copa del Rey match. Anyway if Barca can play at their best it won't matter who's between the sticks. Its a big ask even with a healthy Valdes

I have just seen this, I thought Barca were banned from transfer activity ?

No the ban was removed pending a appeal.
