Barcelona striking trio rested valencia match

You're referring to the La Liga match between Barcelona and Valencia on February 17, 2023!

Yes, Barcelona's striking trio of Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembélé, and Ferran Torres were all rested for that match. Here's why:

• Robert Lewandowski was given a break due to a minor injury he sustained in the previous match against Real Madrid. He was substituted off in the 65th minute and was feeling some discomfort in his knee.
• Ousmane Dembélé has been dealing with a series of injuries throughout the season, and Xavi decided to give him a rest to allow him to fully recover and avoid any further setbacks.
• Ferran Torres was also given a breather, as Xavi wanted to give him a chance to recharge and come back stronger for the next match.

In their place, Barcelona started with Ansu Fati, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Adama Traoré up front. Despite the changes, Barcelona still managed to secure a 1-0 win over Valencia, thanks to a goal from Aubameyang.
