  • Oooh Santi Cazorla.

  • Ter Stegen is getting worse. Very strange decline.

  • Fati and Dembele are the future. Suarez and Raketic are the past

  • @neumi17 Suares will be better if he is on substitution.

  • @neumi17 Dembele has zero future

  • @neumi17 Valverde is the present.

  • I will give my soul every game. -Luis Suarez

  • two (beautiful) goals scored from nothing by Barca but the scoreline is misleading. Villarreal is controlling the game so far, ruling the midfield, and Barca has to play counter attack in Camp Nou. I sense Barca is not winning tonight.

  • Barcona dnt seem to know how to get the ball back. Players movements are bad when they play without the ball. We need a new coach. The pressing game is the key to barcelonas way of defending. Busquest is old really.

  • Barcelona dnt seem to know how to get the ball back. They cnt press. Not at all. I really wonder do they think they will be able to face rough teams. Busquest needz to be replaced now. By a defensive midd fielder. Someone who has pace.

  • Santi magician Cazorla what a bomb

  • Busquets makes such a difference in Barca's midfield.

  • @MrNemobody Feels like he's been there forever

  • @Fromhell He has

  • Barca 3-0 Messi will start.

  • Average team vs mighty Villarreal, clearly a draw.

  • @GioMonaldo sado-maso barca fan ☝️

  • Under game

  • The best player in world to score. Barça 3-1 Villarreal. :)

  • @Davisson everything wrong

  • hammerr barrca

  • BTTS, Over 2.5 goals, Barcelona win

  • Fati-Surez-Messi, Arthur-Busquets-Vidal This will be a different team than the one which played away at Granda (Griezmann-Suarez-Perez, Rakitic-DeJong-Roberto-Firpo). You rest your best players for away matches, not for home matches. Although Dortmund was a tough away game, but against Granda Arthur-Busquets and Fati should have played first half. Also, If Messi was to be played 45 mins, he should have been starting the match, you could always sub in Fati with him after 45-60 mins (if he agrees). Bad man management considering this bad start of the season.

  • Valverde Out after this game

  • @The_King why? they win

  • @KiraFabri his tactics are lazy. He is used to playing a defensive game. Now he must play a 4 3 3. He does know his players must play with out the ball.

  • Home win

  • Barca playing at home and Messi will probably start, draw is a safe bet here. A mid table team like Barca should not underestimate giants like Villarreal.

  • @GioMonaldo huh. Villarreal a giant ? Can they in any way be compared to Barcelona?

  • @Uchenna any La Liga team is a giant as long as Valverde is Barca manager.
