It has been confirmed by Ancelotti himself and indeed it does not seem too severe but on the other hand Ancelotti also does not guarantee that Vini can play in next week's match because it is possible that there must be a further examination and in order to keep the player from receiving the worst possibility so that the possibility of him not playing next week is quite large.On the other hand, in this match Jude is still the star for Madrid because he is still quite stable in scoring goals now.
Next week their opponents will be Getafe and to be honest this won't be too tough, it's just that with Getafe's bus parking scheme against Barcelona and losing Vini this will still be a loss for Madrid but with this I think there will be a good opportunity for Brahim Diaz or Joselu now.
I am happy that Bellingham in the end still continued his best form by helping Real Madrid to win the game. He is the most useful signing this season with 4 goals in 3 games but I know he is not a striker who can be expected to score every game. I just hope Bellingham's performance can be consistent, if he can then he will win the golden boy for sure.
This could hamper them if Madrid end up having the same problem as usual (last season) when missing one of their core players they struggle to make a breakthrough.
Fortunately that won't be the case for long and now Ancelotti will have to find a way to ensure that when Vini isn't playing they still have options to keep their attack going.
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.
Drama 7 goals is really interesting to watch 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.

I enjoyed this match because it was one of the most watchable matches of the week.
Barcelona still have problems in their defence especially when they get counter-attacked as the players fail to get back but what I like is that their goal productivity is also back. After 2 weeks of poor finishing in this match they seemed to be back to the Barcelona that always scores a lot of goals but there are still some things that need to be fixed by Xavi.
