It was a great joy for me to watch the Villarreal - Barcelona game today. There were insane comebacks which led Barcelona to win by an absurd score like 4-3. But I must really appreciate especially Villarreal's unbelievable comeback from 0-2 to 3-2. You are doing this against one of the biggest favourites of the title in the end.
Villarreal did everything they could but it was still not enough to resist Barcelona. Once again they couldn't beat Barcelona home. By scoring this many goals I think Barcelona will regain their usual performance faster. It was nice to see Lewandowski scoring his first goal too.
It should be noted here that Barcelona did not fall apart after three consecutive goals conceded and were able to come together and win, which only added to the beauty of the match. Barcelona played great on offense, but the defense is certainly not champion. The champion should not concede such goals and it is good that Barça has talents like Gavi, De Jong and Ferran Torres and it looks like Xavi is uncovering another very young talent in the form of Lamine Yamal, who broke Ansu Fati's record and became the youngest assist writer in La Liga.
What I liked in this match was that Lewandowski was placed in the middle of 2 young players where Gavi and Lamine Yamal really trusted very well.
It looks like Lamine Yamal will now be one of the potential players for Barcelona in terms of his age and progress in playing.
It's just that Xavi's handling at this time must be right, Ansu used to be someone good but the longer he doesn't get the trust of playing minutes and don't let something like this also happen to Lamine Yamal because he still really needs trust and minutes to play.
On the other hand, the score was good enough and I like the final score.
