Barcelona's weakness was against counter-attacks in this match. Villarreal had so many goal opportunities thanks to these counter-attacks. They were so comfortable with through balls at the same time. I hope that Xavi would do something about this to stay stronger in defense. They can continue to have serious issues against capable teams like Villarreal.

I liked this 16-year-old talent Yamal by the way. He got two shots hit the goal post in this match which was unlucky for him. He has a good technique as well. If he continues to have chances often then he might really shine and get offers from big teams in the future.

Barcelona did look so weak in terms of anticipating counter-attacks from Villarreal, but unfortunately there were many wasted opportunities because Villarreal's players were unable to finish well. Xavi knows the weaknesses of the bottom line when facing Villareal so he tries to improve the ability of the midfield to make them have control of the ball even though this strategy does not fully work because Villareal are also very strong in dominating possession. Frenkie De Jong has succeeded in becoming one of the players who stood out quite a bit in this match and he has a much better level of accuracy in holding the ball.

Lamin Yamal's talent was indeed quite impressive in that match even though he was slightly better than Raphinha, but it is not impossible that if Xavi gives more minutes to play it will make his performance much better for the next few matches. An assist given by Lamin Yamal to Gavi was the start of a goal scored in that match and I think it had a big impact on this victory.

The fact that Barcelona won seems to be cool and 3 points is 3 points, but given the previous two games, I would say that this is another sign of weakness (if we are talking about the fight for the title). And with such a game (both in attack and defense), one should not count on any success in Eurocups. Maybe Xavi will be able to even out the situation, but globally I expect a repeat of previous seasons - instability that will not always end as well as today.

That's correct, the "three points is three points" talk might be true for La Liga, but when this is against the best European teams in the Champions League, I don't think that Barcelona has a realistic chance to make it to the semifinal. Maybe the quarterfinals could be possible, but the last season was a good example of what you just explained. A team like Inter Milan punishes this and doesn't lose the game like Villareal did. Both games against Cadiz and Getafe have already had some warning signals. Having one close game against an inferior team is normal, but these three games taken together aren't very promising so far.

By the way, as I expected, the bookmakers also rated this game as a minus for Barcelona and the quotes for the La Liga title shifted a little more in favor of Real Madrid. Now, according to the bookmakers, the odds of Real Madrid are 1.68 and Barcelona are 2.75. I consider this bias to be quite serious and still profitable to bet on Real (but I want to wait until September 1st to know for sure if Mbappe will come).

I think that Mbappe won't come most probably as Carlo Ancelotti said that we are not waiting anymore attackers.However you are making the right call as if Mbappe comes it means that most likely Real Madrid will be Champions of La Liga this year as they need just a player like him in the midfield and they will have no problems whatsoever winning at least 95% of all of their games if not 100% of them.

Barcelona yesterday night showed great spirit as they come back from 3-2 to 3-4 and they were leading 0-2 before losing to 3-2,so great recovery,I doubt any other team would have done the same against a strong team like Villareal,for example I doubt if Real Madrid would have come back the same way Barcelona did.

It is fundamentally different from last season when Barcelona had by far the best defense in the league. If they now can't solve the problems they have in their defense, this season won't be very successful for them. I am also not convinced of their offense. Yes it is Lewandowski there, but it is not the world soccer player Lewandowski from a few years ago. If they have a defensive performance like that against Real Madrid, they will again be destroyed like in the second game in the Copa del Rey last season.

Overall Barcelona defense is still strengthened by players who looked charming guarding Barcelona defense area last season. Villarreal is a strong club, they also play at their own headquarters, in my opinion it is very natural that Villarreal has the ambition to win matches in front of their supporters.

The three goals scored against Barcelona show how much Villarreal wants to secure full points, but Barcelona are much better than those who managed to score four goals. I don't really focus on Barcelona defense, it's normal for them to concede three goals because Villarreal has a good attack. Barcelona managed to keep a clean sheet in the previous two matches, conceding three goals is not a big problem, but Barcelona players must be able to close the movements of opponents who want to penetrate their defensive area.

It is important for Barcelona to learn from this match and evaluate it to improve its defense going forward. While they have an advantage on offense, a strong defense is also important for long-term success. By identifying and fixing its weaknesses, Barcelona can become a more balanced team in the upcoming matches.
Even though in that match, the three goals scored by Villarreal showed the team's determination to get full points. However, Barcelona managed to emerge victorious by scoring four goals, demonstrating their superior quality in attack. Even though Barcelona's defense conceded three goals, this is perhaps understandable given the quality of Villarreal's attack.
But conceding three goals in one game shows there are gaps in their defense that need improvement. Barcelona players need to work well together to deal with the opponent's movements and prevent them from penetrating the defensive area.

Barcelona made a move at the end of this transfer market, borrowing Jao Canselo from Man City with a permanent purchase option. Barca's defense looked porous in the match against Villarreal, the addition of this versatile defender is expected to patch up Barca's defense.

However, what caught the most attention after that game was Barca wonderkids Lamine Yamal, many predicted to be Messi's successor.

Villarreal is indeed a strong team, but they are no better than Barcelona, in this match I did not see that Villarreal played well, but it was Barcelona who played badly so they could concede 3 goals even when Barcelona was 2-0 up. Villarreal was able to turn things around, until finally Barcelona's players came back to make the game 4--3 but it will be another evaluation for Xavi to continue to improve this team before facing more difficult opponents.

And what is of great concern is Barcelona's bottom line this season, look at how bad Barcelona's defense is, this is a pretty serious issue if Barcelona faces a tougher team, maybe to compete in La Liga Barcelona is still quite calculated but I really don't sure they will be able to compete tightly in the UCL stage.

Yes, that's right, Villareal are a good team but of course not better than Barcelona. And it's true that as you said Barcelona didn't play well especially in the defensive area. Barcelona's defense must be repaired immediately otherwise Barcelona will find it difficult to face strong teams like Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

In that match, it was clear that Barcelona's defense that was not good was Sergi Roberto. Because of Villareal's first goal, instead of heading the ball, he just watched, and also during Villareal's second goal, he couldn't cut the ball on the right. And Villarreal's third also came from Roberto's position and he was slow to come down.

For today match Rayo vs Atletico Madrid i think home team cannot be underestimate because in the last 2 matches Rayo has successfully to collect 6 points and cleansheet so obviously Rayo in the positive condition although probably their status as underdog but i think it's not easy to beat them and Atletico Madrid last week has just gets unsatisfactory result because they only can able to playing draw against Betis so they want return to winning ways through an this match

Atletico Madrid has odds @1.97 but i don't think this is could be good pick because Rayo also sometimes to showed good performance at their home ground especially for team condition Rayo looks in the good shape because there is no players who gets injured or suspension but different situation for Atletico because for today match they will lost Koke who got light injured and i was thinking this match probably will ended to draw considers the conditions from these teams is not so different

However Rayo have been very good with the previous two wins and even if they lose against Atletico I don't think it will change the results they have had so far. I think Atletico are still too strong for Rayo and I have quite a doubt that Rayo can win at home even though Atletico are the opponents. What is clear is that I don't want to bet on this match because anything can still happen and the possible outcome of the match is also not what I predicted. But I'm quite the favorite for Atletico to win even though Koke must be absent due to injury because after all they have to get 3 additional points to catch the gap at the top of the standings.

Same Sir, I don't want to bet on that match either. After all that game will be played at home Rayo, and they will probably make an good effort to not lose points at home. Although I also favor Atletico Madrid, but their last match was not good because they couldn't get a win at Real Betis home. There is a possibility this match will ended in a draw result as bering said, but I hope Atletico Madrid can got winning because if they get the three points, they will have the same points for a while with Barcelona.

I really can't think, how can Sevilla be so weak in La Liga. Because in the three matches Sevilla has played so far, the fact is that Sevilla only got a defeat. Meanwhile, if I consider about the opposing team faced by Sevilla then at least, basically Sevilla has a good chance to win. About Sevilla defeat when Sevilla playing against Valencia, maybe it is still a reasonable result. But, about Sevilla defeat by Alaves and Girona then I think it is a result that should not happen. Because anyway, in that match that Sevilla still has good statistics but still, Sevilla failed to win.

I prefer to see rayo to lose against atletico. Rayo was strong, but atletico is far stronger than rayo. Atletico needs to get a perfect result. Vallecano is still having perfect results since the first match of la liga. I think that it will stop here.
I remind you that if vallecano rarely had excellent result against atletico madrid even though the game will be gonna play in vallecano's home. Atletico madrid needs only to play consistently, especially in the defensive line.

It's caused by vallevaco is an offensive team. Simeone has been also praising vallecano caused by the club was always playing offensive strategy against its opponent.
It's hard to think over 2.5 goals to happen.

Although Villarreal lost by conceding 4 goals, they also managed to get 3 goals.
This is one of the exciting matches and very fierce competition for the start of the season 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.

This is a very fierce match and quite balanced if we see the game of the two teams.
Barcelona's young players so far have started to look good and be brave in carrying out team games and I really like Xavi who entrusted young players to be combined with senior players, that's good enough for their future, if Xavi continues to do this then I'm sure there will be many young Barcelona players who will shine more quickly because of their experience and growing confidence.

Barcelona's philosophy has always been that they do tiki taka and the La Masia graduates have always produced star players but in recent seasons that hasn't been the case and now Xavi has to bring that back because La Masia has a lot of competent players.
Now looking at Barcelona's young players they actually still have some capable players like Ansu, Gavi and of course the current attention-grabber is Lamine Yamal and actually it could be a good option for them if they maximize young players rather than buying players at high prices which makes their financial conditions even more difficult then the option from La Masia should be a good option.

The match between Villarreal and Barcelona has been very competitive indeed. Later in the last minute, Lewandowski had a great chance to score but he missed it spectacularly. Still, Barcelona secured a much-needed win to stay ahead.

Yes I think going well into the season with two clean sheets as Rayo Vallecno is a remarkable start for them, but they are still one win away from a dream start I think.

Beating Almeria and Granada is good already, but now they are up against one of the three strongest teams in La Liga and those are the games when they can also win some big points that not only are important for the standings in the table, but also can significantly boost their confidence for the games to come. When they are able to beat Atletico Madrid and even play that game on their level, it is also a sign that they don't have to be afraid of any other opponent.

Although I think that Atletico isn't quite on the level of Real Madrid and Barcelona. By the end of September we will have the first big La Liga game when Atletico plays at home against Real Madrid.

It was a shock, I started to panic when the score was 2-2 and when Barcelona were 3-2 down I thought there was no hope for them to turn things around but what I thought was wrong, this game was absolutely incredible, both teams made a comeback, Villarreal able to turn things around when they lost 2 goals but before the match ended Barcelona again turned things around to 4-3.
The match was quite fierce, but I highlighted Barcelona's performance in this match who were careless in the middle of the first half, they seemed to have lost their direction of play and their back line was not working well.
Even though they won, this was not a good performance from Barcelona.

There are always no underdogs who have played quite well at the start of the season, this season it's Girona, but I'm not so sure that they will be consistent.

This match is the best match of the week. Well this fight really made us feel tense throughout the game. Because the two teams took turns making equally good attacks in this match.

This happened because both teams made equally aggressive attack strategies in this match. But the defense of the two teams actually had a bit of a problem in this fight. Because the defense of the two teams both have the same gap in this match. But apart from all that I am really entertained by watching this match.

Actually, I was very confident that Barcelona could win this match when they were ahead quickly in the early minutes with the two goals they scored. But indeed Villarreal as the host did not want to accept that result and they did not give up so they managed to equalize. In the second half Villarreal surprised again by scoring their third goal and had put Barcelona in a depressed position because they had to fight back to score 2 more goals if they wanted to win the game. Luckily Ferran Torres and Robert Lewandowski were able to give a full victory in this match through the goals they scored. I agree that both teams have defensive problems because it is impossible for goals to rain if there is no definite cause. But as I said at the beginning, Barcelona won this match very well.

Well and you're not the only ones who feel sure that barcelona will win the match after scoring two quick goals by Gavi and De Jong in the 12th and 15th minutes. Because we all seem to have pretty much the same thoughts on this. And of course I think what took us all by surprise from this game is because we never expected that Villarreal would be able to equalize in the first half. And yes you are right that another surprising thing was when Villarreal scored the 3rd goal in the 50th minute by Alex Baena. And the real tension does start from this point. But fortunately Barcelona was able to turn things around again and win. I'm pretty sure everyone here betting on Barcelona must have felt the same anxiety when Villarreal scored the 3rd goal.

I didn't anticipate such a tough time against Villarreal. It was a real battle; what's up with their defense? Barcelona seriously needs to address their defensive issues. If they keep playing like this, we're not going to achieve much. That was a narrow win, but they can perform better than this. Barcelona should be aiming higher than what Barca done against Villarreal. And definitely, Yamal, Ferran, and Lopez did an outstanding job in those final minutes.

Of course, Villarreal is not an easy opponent to beat. They are a pretty good team playing in Europe. So Barcelona are very good to win. Moreover, they played at home to Villarreal. The performance of Barcelona players is very good, Gavi, Lamine Yamal became Barcelona's winning actors. Yamal is also very young, he has already played in 3 games this season and made 1 assist.

Yes, Villarreal is a club that cannot be underestimated and against Barcelona they showed a game that was good enough to match Barcelona's game.
Although Villarreal lost by conceding 4 goals, they also managed to get 3 goals.
This is one of the exciting matches and very fierce competition for the start of the season in La Liga.
Even though many thought that Barcelona would lose this match, it turned out that they were still able to take advantage of scoring opportunities to win a narrow victory over Villarreal.

Xavi saw Yamal's potential so he added him to the main squad, of course Xavi has reasons for that to give young players the opportunity to be able to make Yamal replace Dembele's role, Xavi must really give young players the opportunity to fill in several lines so that they can develop their talents as well as gain experience. play so you can get used to it and be confident.

I'm sure that if Xavi continues to hone the talents of young players, he can certainly make Barcelona a good club this season, because many clubs have started to recruit young players like Madrid, this is to give them the opportunity for young players to replace the role of a star player. there will be a time for stars so it needs to be replaced by young players to replace star players who have become legends. Yamal played well enough that I won the bet because Barcelona won Cheesy

Xavi sees tremendous potential in Lamine Yamal, he can still develop into an important player in the Barcelona squad if Xavi continues to hone his talent by placing trust in him. At his young age, he has given a stunning appearance in the Barcelona first team, what Lamine Yamal did reminds me of when Messi was entrusted with playing by Frank Rijkaard.

Lamine Yamal did not waste the opportunity to play in the Barcelona first team, he has made a big profit for the club he is defending. Barcelona don't need to spend money to find new players who can replace Dembele position because the club has found the right person in Lamine Yamal. The victory won by Barcelona cannot be separated from the brilliant performance shown by Lamine Yamal, now Xavi will be permanent in the main squad as a replacement for Dembele who has left for PSG.
