Villarreal team performance was not good, Villarreal team lost by a wide margin while fighting against Real Madrid. Most of the time in this match Real Madrid was in control, I can say from the equation that 60% of the ball was in favor of Real Madrid and the remaining 40% of the ball was in favor of Villarreal team. And Real Madrid attacked the goal post the most and here too there is a wide gap between the two teams. Real Madrid had 22 shots on goal and Villarreal had 3. So there was a huge difference between the two teams on the field of play.
It's clear Villarreal lost to Real Madrid. Madrid controlled the game based on the numbers. Real Madrid's 60% possession figures reveal the story of the encounter. Villarreal's performance has been weak lately, unlike under Unai Emery. Losing to Madrid reinforces that narrative. Madrid's temporary rise to the top shows their ability to exploit Villarreal's shortcomings. Girona is also on my radar. The standings could change again in their next game
At least, the success of Real Madrid winning with a score like 4-1, is a result that I cannot believe before match sterted because ya, I think Real Madrid will still win but maybe it only have a difference of 2 goals. But ya, what happened in this match was that Real Madrid managed to win by a difference of 3 goals and yes, of course it was a very good result for Real Madrid. Because after all, Girona is currently competing with Real Madrid at the top of the table, in fact Girona has good productivity too.
But about Villarreal, it seems that this season is the worst season for Villarreal. Because ya, at least in the last few seasons at least Villarreal has always been in a better position than Valencia. But at this moment, Villarreal is only in 14th place and has only 4 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses from 17 matches played so far this season in La Liga.
