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.
Apparently the best La Liga team last season had to concede 3 goals in a game that ended with 7 goals from both teams. This should come as a surprise because Barcelona have so far been known to be quite good at keeping clean sheets, but not with their away games today.

I find them playing well when they build up the attack, but Barcelona's defense is not good when under pressure. Villareal really took advantage of Barcelona's weakness to score goals so they could get a point at home, but unfortunately Lewandowski and Ferran Torres managed to thwart Villareal's big effort. If Barcelona's defense is like this in a big match, then I'm sure they will fail to get any points, which means they will lose.
