Glad to see Barcelona has bounced back from their loss at UCL. They beat Villareal by a great margin. Their high-line defence worked as intended in this game. It looks scary to see them use high-line defense. But, it helped them trap their opponents in an offside position.
It seems to me Hansiball always prioritizes their attack over defense. It can be seen from how they took the big risk playing highline defence. But this is not gonna work against a club who fully understand how to leave from the trap. And there's room for improvement in their defence.
Their great win against Villareal cost them Ter Stegen. He will likely be out till the end of the season due to his injury.
Barcelona's performance had no effect at all after suffering defeat in the UEFA Champions League to Monaco after being able to achieve a fairly landslide victory over Villareal in La Liga. Robert Lewandowski could almost have scored a hat trick if his penalty kick had not hit the crossbar and his performance was very impressive after being able to score a brace against Villareal.
Barcelona have paid most expensive for their victory over Villareal because their main goal keeper Marc-André ter Stegen have out on the second half match and potential will absent until the end of this season. Its very bad news for Barcelona because they have many important matches in La Liga and improving performance in Champion League if won't loss opportunity get qualifying to knock out round.
Unbelievable with Barcelona performance since managed by Hansi Flick, in La Liga have won 6 of 6 matches and most fantastic have scored 22 goals drastically difference with Real Madrid scored 13 goas of 6 matches although have conceded 5 goals. Most amazing start for Barcelona in this season not only success keep the winning trend but also always scoring above 3 to 4 goals on every matches.
Barcelona are the only team to have won consecutively this season and are four points ahead of defending champions Real Madrid. This victory was much needed after Barcelona lost 1-2 away to Monaco in the Champions League group stage. Hansi Flick's side have played like true champions in the last six rounds of La Liga. With a 4-2-3-1 formation. The attack, with a harmonious combination of Lewandowski's experience, Raphinha's cunning, and Lamine Yamal's youth, continues to be the catalyst for Barcelona's rise. I believe that in the next two rounds, Barcelona has the opportunity to extend its winning streak when it meets weak opponents Getafe and Osasuna.
Ter Stegen has been constantly mentioned recently for his silly mistakes, causing his team to concede goals. After playing a role in Barcelona's Champions League defeat to Monaco, Ter Stegen continued to fail to keep a clean sheet as Villarreal's Ayoze Perez scored in the first half. Things got worse for the Barcelona captain when he suffered a serious injury, had to leave the field later, and faced the risk of being out for the rest of the season. Either way, this is a big loss for Barcelona for the rest of the season.
