Barcelona captain Carles Puyol believes his side's 2-1 comeback win over title rivals Valencia at Camp Nou on Saturday showed they had not lost the hunger or quality to retain the league title they have won the past two seasons.

Barcelona had struggled at home winning one of their three league home matches prior to the Valencia game, however, they showed the spirit of champions by coming from a goal down to win 2-1 against a previously-unbeaten Valencia side.
