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.

Barcelona have a squad with great goal potential. It is just the first weeks of the season therefore they might need more time to be consistent about scoring multiple goals in one match. But against Villarreal they were really incredible. Despite the problems on defending they were still able to answer great at scoring goals.

Defense problems can also be solved in time. They were the best about it last season if you remember. They were the least conceding team with only 20 goals during the whole season in the league.

It will be really lovely to watch a big title rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid if they both play strongly this season.  Smiley

Why praising Barcelona for coming from behind to score two unreplied goals that helped them beat Villareal yesterday in the Spanish La Liga match away at Villareal, we should also talk about how they trailed behind in a game they were two goals up in the early stages of the first half.
The Barcelona defense needs to improve from what we saw yesterday or be ready to concede numerous number of goals when they face clubs with higher attacking force than that of Villareal. Xavi Hernandez for a fact is doing well but improve his team's defence
I'm afraid that Barcelona don't have money to afford good players in defense, especially on the flangs. The Saudi league has also raised the prices of players this year and Barcelona have been reinforcing the players they can afford. It's lucky that Gundogan is a Barcelona fan because Barcelona wouldn't have gotten him on the open market. Barcelona's academy is also growing its talents quite well, as we can see in the example of Lamine Yamal.

So far the squad seems quite strong and balanced, but the bench is very short and an injury to a couple of key players will have a big impact.
In general, if they survive this season and take at least second place this year in La Liga, we can consider it a successful season for Barcelona.
Alot of players are dreaming of moving over to Barcelona but the issue on ground is the financial crisis in the club that's restricting them from signing those players Barca really needs a good winning back this season to help strengthen that area and they've been in talks with Cancelo but they're finding it difficult to meet up to Mancity's demand however Cancelo would make a very good signing to their squad if they finally succeed in getting him this season.
 I think it's too early to leave Barca out of winning their league because season they were not really all impressive but they managed to win the league and it's still possible for Barcelona to still win the league this season though it might not be very possible because Realmadrid looks very tough and are currently leading the table with the inclusion of a good signing in person of Jude Bellingham that's so brilliant so far.

Barcelona youth setup has always been amazing. They always manage to grow really skilled players from there. I think Yamal is one of those players. He has a good talent at this young age. He should play as much as possible to improve his skills much more. Dembele's departure is really helping him now.

Xavi can have him in the starting lineup in the coming games as well after watching his effective football. He was nearly scoring a goal in this game as well.
Thats right, Barcelona really has some very young players and they are also worth a lot of money. Until now, Barcelona tanke 4 players from the youth in the first team, only one new transfer Oriol Romeu for 3.4 million euros. Maybe because Barcelona has a lot of debt. They have sold several players and there are came 100 million euros together. Yamal is 16 years, Balde 19, Ansu Fati 20, Gavi 19 and Pedri 20. Together they are worth 300 million euros.

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.

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.

I agree with your opinion. The players in the attack and midfield really showed their best abilities, this was reflected in the four goals scored against Villarreal. Indeed, Torres and his friends really stole the attention with their extraordinary performances as young Barcelona attackers. Pedri's absence due to injury naturally leaves a gap in the squad. However, you are right in saying that if he had played, Barcelona could have done even better. The team's success in this match also shows a very good potential for victory. It's true that Xavi has to improve Barcelona's back line and defense so he can hold and read the opponent's movements, because Barcelona's back line is very fragile. The strategic approach to the game seems to be working, and if the consistency of the player's performance can be maintained, then Barcelona's chances of doing well in a competition like the Champions League are certainly very likely to occur.
Something they still need to improve on, yes it's their defense. I wouldn't say they were lucky in this game, because their offense is good, but they can't keep conceding so much. I see it like this, if they get an opponent whose defense is stronger, while their defense is fragile so easily broken it will be a defeat for them.
There must be a balance between defense and attack, not to mention their midfield. And now they have a good attack and midfield, it's just that their defense hasn't really played well.

Some mistakes being made by villareal. What a significant result from barcelona. Impressive performance from yamal. This 16 years old guy has been performing even better compared with raphinha.
It's a magic to see that 16 years old was able performing like a world class player. No raphinha but yes for yamal. Raphinha was not even better than yamal.

It has been the culture of Barcelona, signing young and talented prospects and developing them into world class players, and so far it's worked perfectly for them,  Barcelona really needed to offload Dembele for other rising star to shine, though Dembele is a very talented player and a lot was expected of him at Barcelona when he arrived at Barcelona from Dortmund but his playing time at Barca was limited due to his reoccurring injury spells, and so far the player that's benefitted from his departure is Yamal, because he's getting playing time and it  would built his confidence level and help him develop into a top class as expected by Barcelona.
 The team looks good and balanced I think what they need currently is Lewandowski to get back to his full potential and start helping them to score goals and compete better against their top rivals this season.

Barcelona currently lead 4-3. However, the weaknesses of Barcelona's defense are well understood in this match. Xavi definitely needs to work more on Barcelona's defence.

The first half ended 2-2. Villarreal took a 3-2 lead early in the second half thanks to Alex Baena's goal. Villarreal are playing well enough. However, in the 68th minute, Barcelona managed to equalize the match with Torres' goal. And just three minutes later, Lewandowski scored another goal to give Barcelona the lead. I was waiting to see Lewandowski's goal. This is Lewandowski's first goal of the season. Barcelona's overall gameplay is very good today. But their defense is a bit weak this season too. Defense needs to be strengthened.
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.

Every player in Barcelona's attack and midfield performed well in this match. They played well. Otherwise four goals against Villarreal would not have been possible. In particular I want to talk about Torres. Excellent performance by this young Barcelona striker.Pedri missed the match due to injury. Barcelona might have been able to perform better if Pedri was with the squad. Barcelona's overall performance was very good so they won. However, Barcelona's defense needs to be strengthened. Barcelona's match strategy is quite good. This team has the potential to do well in the Champions League as well if the performance of the team's players is consistent.

Even though they won, this was not a good performance from Barcelona.



If we examine the performance of Barcelona's back line, I don't understand why Xavi played Marco Alonso as a defender on the left wing. whereas, Xavi could have prepared Balde to be deployed in the match against Villarreal. maybe that's why, Cristensen played underperform, because he did not fit with Alonso. but in the second half, Alonso found his rhythm especially after Cristensen was substituted. at right-back, Sergi Roberto played very underperformed. which in the end, there is buying and selling goals in this match.

Uniquely, Barcelona took the lead quickly in the 12th minute and three minutes later, De Jong added the advantage to 0-2. 11 minutes later, Villarral was able to pull back a goal to reduce the position. in the 40th minute, Villarreal were able to equalize at 2-2. until halftime, the game took place again exciting. both teams scored again, fortunately Lewandowski broke the deadlock and was able to decide their victory over Villarreal. With this result, Barcelona rose to 3rd place on the standings.
however, Xavi has homework to improve his defense. the absence of several important players who were injured meant that there wasn't much that could be done, but Xavi should be able to fix it for future matches. maybe if Cancelo is successfully brought to Camp Nou, at the end of this transfer window, Xavi has quite a strong back line depth.

Lamine Yamal succeeded in enchanting the entire audience thanks to his brilliant action, losing Dembele is not too much of a problem anymore because Xavi has found the right person to fill in on the right winger. He was able to contribute well to Barcelona's victory even though he was still 16 years old, he needed Xavi's full trust to continue to develop his talent. The presence of Lamine Yamal in the main squad adds to the list of young players in the squad led by Xavi, he is a pearl that has just shone from La Masia after Pedri and Gavi.

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

It was a crazy match with a lot of comebacks. Lamin Yamal showed that he is a very big up-and-coming player, he did excellent work. Yamal is only 16, but he's playing great. He has become my new reason to watch Barcelona's games. He might be the best youngster I've seen since Messi. I hope his career will be like Messi's. Also, it's not all about goals, tactical things like game set-up, counter schemes, asymmetrical formations also make a good match. Araujo's absence is so obvious, without him the defense falls apart. He is the real leader of this team.
Of course, the one who got the appreciation in this match was Villarreal who played at home, of course this is impossible for Villarreal who put up such intense resistance for their guest Barcelona, ​​we know that Villarreal is not a trivial team that can be easily beaten by a club like Barcelona.  Villarreal has pretty good players, it's just that luck didn't go to Villarreal last night, but Barcelona has attackers who are hungry for goals and midfielders who have excellent passing when it comes to spitting balls in the penalty box and making it easier for Barcelona's attackers to create goals against Villarreal.  , unfortunately Villarreal made a fatal decision when they played defensively in the defensive area which made Barcelona easily attack the Villarreal defense repeatedly and in the end created equal goals and the winning goal for Barcelona in the match, of course this was very painful for Villarreal where this became  defeat for the second time in the opening match..

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 season Barcelona has yet to find its best form of play. Xavi must work extra to be able to find Barca's style of play that should be. The fans were of course very grateful for the victory over Villarreal, but they were very worried about seeing their team fall behind even though they finally made a comeback.

I see something that Xavi needs to evaluate which is defence. The Blaugrana's defenders are still uncoordinated and very easy for opponents to penetrate, such a condition is very risky if a solution is not immediately found. Meanwhile, on the attack, Xavi might have been a little relieved because Lewandowski and his friends were able to appear very cohesive.
A win like this was much needed for Barcelona. Barcelona won 4-3 in yesterday's match against Villarreal but Barcelona conceded three goals against a team like Villarreal and since then Barcelona's defense has been in question. Barcelona scored but they couldn't stop the goal. Barcelona's margin of victory against Villarreal could have been bigger had Barcelona's defense provided better support. Xavi must have a different plan with Barcelona's defense because if the defense is shaky, it is never possible to do well in big matches. Barcelona's forwards were fine in this match, if the defense could have done better like the forwards, the result of this match would have been different. The transfer window is not yet closed so Barcelona still have time to sign quality defenders.

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.
Big teams? Roll Eyes

Barcelona is already one of big teams in football, why he should join other team. The problem of Barcelona is Lewandowski, he's already old and next few years Barcelona need to find a good striker to replace him. If Barcelona is successfully able to find it and Yamal's performance is keep improving, Barcelona will be a strong team for many years since they're full of young players.
Of course Lamine Yamal is quite happy at Barcelona, ​​especially since he is studying at La Masia, of course he will not go to another big team if he gets a pretty tempting offer. Moreover, he has gained the trust and the opportunity to break into the senior team under Xavi direction, of course he will really appreciate the opportunity Xavi has given him. I think he will reject all offers if that happens to him in the winter transfer window.

For now I think he is very comfortable at Barcelona, ​​moreover he can play with top players like Lewandowski who can provide full support to improve his quality. Barcelona is a big team and many players are interested in playing for Barcelona so he has a good enough place to become the next legend.

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.
The 7 goals scored in this match indicated that the match was very exciting and thrilling for the supporters of the two teams, Barcelona finally managed to come out victorious after Lewandowski scored a goal in the 71st minute, the score lasted 3-4 until the referee blew the long whistle. Kemenangan yang sangat dramatis untuk Barcelona, meski pada awalnya sempat unggul 2-0, Villarreal berhasil membalas tiga gol secara beruntun yang membuat Barcelona tertinggal 3-2. An additional two goals through the actions of Ferran Torres and Lewandowski made Barcelona manage to secure 3 points at the Estadio de la Cerámica.

Lamine Yamal succeeded in enchanting the entire audience thanks to his brilliant action, losing Dembele is not too much of a problem anymore because Xavi has found the right person to fill in on the right winger. He was able to contribute well to Barcelona's victory even though he was still 16 years old, he needed Xavi's full trust to continue to develop his talent.

I'm curious, whether Vinicius injured so he was taken off and replaced by Joselu? Because anyway, replacing Vinicius in the 18th minute is obviously a fast time for Vinicius to play in the first half. Also apart from that, Rodrygo missed a goal from a penalty kick, I think it was a bad or unsatisfactory result. But indeed, Real Madrid still won and got three points in this away match, but it seems that Real Madrid also has to work hard to win in this match. Because anyway, Real Madrid just scored at least 10 minutes before the end of the match and yes, Bellingham managed make a goal to make win the match and Joselu also managed to make an assist.

According to the news, Ancelotti claimed that Vinicius' injury was not that serious and that he might even play in the team's upcoming game. Even if the injury requires some time to heal, I don't believe it will have a significant impact on Real Madrid because they still have players who can fill the position. Let me say that even in laliga, vini Jr can run and dribble more than two players, which is why real Madrid always uses him to play the position he is playing, despite the fact that he is well known for playing the side stricker position and that I have never seen a good side player running faster than him in real Madrid.

I really admire Vini Jr's performance in the match, even though the match was very difficult because even celta vigo didn't want to give up in it, but thanks to Kepa Arizabalaga who also put more effort to ensure real Madrid defeated celta vigo. If you watch the match against celta vigo Vini Jr did a dribble style and the style is a style that Bale used when he was in real Madrid and vini Jr repeated it to, Real Madrid might even score more than that because of a penalty kick that was attempted by Rodrigo and missed, as well as Bellingham's strong play, which resulted in another goal. In my opinion, real Madrid won't suffer even if vini Jr is absent because Ancelotti will play Valverde in Vini Jr's place, and Rodrigo will fill Valverde's position after that, with Joselu playing as a striker.

Some mistakes being made by villareal. What a significant result from barcelona. Impressive performance from yamal. This 16 years old guy has been performing even better compared with raphinha.
It's a magic to see that 16 years old was able performing like a world class player. No raphinha but yes for yamal. Raphinha was not even better than yamal.
It was a crazy match with a lot of comebacks. Lamin Yamal showed that he is a very big up-and-coming player, he did excellent work. Yamal is only 16, but he's playing great. He has become my new reason to watch Barcelona's games. He might be the best youngster I've seen since Messi. I hope his career will be like Messi's. Also, it's not all about goals, tactical things like game set-up, counter schemes, asymmetrical formations also make a good match. Araujo's absence is so obvious, without him the defense falls apart. He is the real leader of this team.
