VALENCIA, Spain (Reuters) -Lionel Messi scored a 50th freekick goal for Barcelona as he led his side to a quick-fire comeback to win 3-2 at Valencia on Sunday and keep the pressure on La Liga title rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. Valencia got back into contention out of nowhere when midfielder Carlos Soler scored with an unstoppable strike from long range in the 83rd. Barca are third on 74 points with four games remaining, level with second-placed Real Madrid and two behind leaders Atletico Madrid after both sides won on Saturday. Valencia were left 14th in the standings and are still not completely out of the relegation battle, sitting six points above the dropzone. "We're not looking at the other teams, we're only interested in ourselves and we believe our players can go on and win the league."
