Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Barcelona vs Villarreal
Barcelona:
All the odds were going in the favour of Barcelona, after the Spanish and Barcelona Legend, Xavi, who is currently managing his team got all the players he needed in the transfer window. Starting from Bayern’s striker, who was awarded the best striker trophy, Robert Lewandowski, to French national defender Kounde who was at the wall of Sevilla last season. However, Carlo Ancelotti and his galacticos did not let Barcelona enjoy a single moment in Santiago. Barcelona conceded only one goal in 8 games but after facing Real Madrid, they conceded 3 in the El Classico. With a shocking result in Madrid, Barcelona fans are starting to demand more from Xavi as the board is now warning him. With their poor performances in the Champions League, Barcelona is considered one of the teams to leave the competition.
“We have to change the dynamic,” added Xavi. “The season is very long, sometimes you’re down, but we have to be strong, keep believing, and work, I don’t know any other way to get to success.
