In the next match, Barcelona must also be able to win at home to Villarreal, even though they have to fight hard because Villarreal is also not a weak team, even though Barcelona often wins against Villarreal. So Xavi Hernandez's task is still quite a lot and difficult because he must be able to maintain the appearance of his team in order to be able to continue to get points at the start of this season so that he can become a champion candidate in La Liga again. Because Real Madrid has also started to perform well again now.

It's a tough match for barcelona. Even though im sure barcelona will be winning the game with small scores against villareal but i think that draw may also be possible to happen. We didn't even know how strong villareal right now. Xavi needs to chase duo madrid.
Xavi may not use the young players against villareal caused by the points are very important at this moment for barcelona. The club has a target to win la liga again. It's likely that barcelona gonna try so hard to win this match.
The club shall not miss three points again. It will be a disaster for barcelona to miss it. Xavi will use its main squad. Playing without dembele was giving a lot of impact for barcelona.
Dembele has always become a key for barcelona to take la liga trophy last season. Gavi is not able controlling his emotion.

The problem for Barcelona and Villarreal for the first 2 matches is still the same with poor finishing so if you look at this situation I think if it is not improved, the conditions will remain the same with even if someone wins, it is likely that this is only a narrow victory.
Barcelona are still unable to maximize their finishing, on the other hand Lewandowski also seems to be a little troubled by some new things, especially for the attacking scheme because at this time he is a lone striker in contrast to before Barcelona always gave 3 strikers in front with a 4-3-3 formation.
Another advantage for Barcelona is that Raphinha can return to the squad which can foster confidence.

As for Villarreal they are quite good for chances just like Barcelona their finishing is poor and this can be very dangerous if the opponent is Barcelona.
