Barcelona's 100% start to the season brought to a disappointing end last midweek after they traveled France to play against Monaco in their first UEFA Champions League game of the season and that brought many criticisms to the team. Some persons were of the opinion that despite Barcelona's previous results before the game, they do not have all it takes to win in big matches. In their response to the critics today, the Spanish La Liga league leaders delivered another scintillating performance against Villarreal to continue to their impressive performance in the league. My question now is should we consider Barcelona as a club that can only do well in the league and get beaten in European competitions?
Both of these teams performed very well but the worst for me was Villarreal's failure to control the offside. If they could have controlled the offside, they would not have lost by such a margin, Villarreal had the hardest time in this match. Because even after scoring a few goals, the goals were disallowed only for offside, there was a slight offside like a little bit of a body part. However, Villarreal's players need to gain more experience in order not to make such mistakes in the attacking department, where these small mistakes have led to serious risks.
Because the gamblers who bet on the draw and Villarreal team undoubtedly lost and suffered losses, I thank the Barcelona team players because their offsides were minimal and the goalkeeper's weakness allowed them to score the most goals.
