Full time Villarreal vs Barcelona 3 - 4
I admit that Barcelona's defense in this match was really unsatisfactory, but the performance of their attackers and midfielders was good enough that it helped them win the match. Gavi, De Jong, Ferran and Lewandowski scored one goal each, but of course I didn't really expect Barcelona to concede 3 goals. Xavi needs to make strategic changes in the next match so that his team can play better in defense. Lamine Yamal, who appeared slick, managed to become MVP in this match, of course he became a new gem in the Barcelona squad.
In the end these are the 3 points that really made Barcelona work hard. But overall I think Barcelona did pretty well in the build up despite some of their finishing not being great.
Not unexpectedly, if this match will give birth to many goals from both teams. In this match, De Jong played very impressively. he made 109 touches, 87 accurate passes, 5 chances, and contributed 1 goal. as well as other players such as Lamine Yaman, Gavi, Ferran Torres and Lewandowski who determined their victory over Villarreal.
unfortunately the performance of Barcelona's back line was very undisciplined, especially Christensen's performance which experienced a decline. also, Sergi roberto who played badly. in the end, they conceded 3 goals in this match. tactically, Barcelona is much better than the home team. in fact, Barcelona has a lot of opportunities. recorded, 21 total shots, 11 shots on target, 5 big chances, 2 hit the post.
Conversely, Villarreal also has enough opportunities though not as many as Barcelona. but in the end, the home team had to be beaten at home by Barcelona. With this result, Barcelona rose to 3rd place in the standings. but for the record, Xavi must improve the performance of his defensive line going forward. otherwise, it will be a problem for them. in particular, the role of Sergi Roberto who tends to underperform. in the match against Asasuna later, Barcelona must be even better, especially in defense.
