The mascot of the Spanish club has channeled his interior Marcelo Bielsa before a clash against the Catalans
Valencia sent its club mascot into a jubilant mission to spy on the La Liga leaders in Barcelona, with confirmation that Lionel Messi is as good as previously thought.
Before their clash with the Catalans on Saturday, Los Che decided to send his curious bat mascot behind the enemy lines, in a veiled veiled attempt to take advantage.

The "espionage mission" comes as a result of the controversy surrounding Leeds United coach Marcelo Bielsa, who recently admitted questionable research methods in all its aspects.

An investigation of the English Football League on this practice is ongoing after a lawsuit filed by Derby County prior to the league match between the two teams last month.
The league leaders could still be severely punished for the offense, which could affect their candidacy to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2004.
Nevertheless, Valencia will need all the help needed to bring down Barcelona – which has responded with insolence to the crowd of messages posted on Twitter.
The club's official account wrote: "We have no bat here, but there was a visit from GOAT today.
Uh … are you spying on us? We do not have a bat here, but a goat came today.

Barcelona have won five of their last six games after beating Sevilla 6-1 in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.
Drawing from the back 2-0 since the first leg, Philippe Coutinho scored twice, on either side of Ivan Rakitic 's goal, to silence the tie.
Sergi Roberto has extended the lead role before the dynamic duo Barca, Luis Suarez and Messi, do not end up shining the performance.
Guilherme Arana reduced the score, but Ernesto Valverde's men were undeniable as they remain on track to win the competition for a fifth consecutive season.
After the match, Messi was right about the charges that Barca was willing to throw at the competition after losing the first match.
"It was said that we had launched the cup or that we did not want it, or maybe my message had been misinterpreted at the beginning of the season," Messi told Barca TV.
"The team wants to fight for all three competitions, as it is still the obligation of Barcelona every year.

"We do not throw anything."
The Catalans are currently leading the La Liga and have 20 points ahead of Valencia, which ranks seventh. They also earned their place in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey during the week with a win over Getafe.
Always attentive to the quadruple this season, Barcelona will face Lyon in the first leg of the last 16 Champions League games later this month.
