Kick off time set for FC Barcelona - Valencia at the end of March

FC Barcelona now know the time and date when they will face Valencia at Camp Nou. The 28th game of the Catalan side's league campaign will be the Sunday night game before the March international break. 

La Liga have announced that Barça - Valencia will be played on Mar. 19 at Camp Nou, kicking off at 20.45h local time. It's likely to be an important game as the Blaugrana look to fight for the title against a side who have improved in recent weeks after a tough start to the season. 

On the same weekend, Real Madrid will visit San Mames. Zinedine Zidane's side are due to play Athletic Club on Mar. 18 at 16.15. 

The kick off chosen for Barcelona's game with Valencia is controversial, though, as it coincides with the famous 'La Crema' event which is part of the Las Fallas in Valencia. Remember Barça already had problems in San Sebastian with the 'Tamborrada'.
