Watch: Villarreal 1-2 Barcelona, Match Review

Barcelona secure an invaluable three points after defeating Villarreal away from home. Despite looking shattered and sleepy throughout the match, Ronald Koeman’s side were able to clinch a crucial victory thanks to two goals from Antoine Griezmann. Check out our full match review below:

In an absolutely crucial match in the La Liga title race, Barcelona knew that Villarreal were going to provide stern opposition this afternoon. But surely, even still, Unai Emery’s side really impressed on the day, and made life extremely difficult for Barça.

Barcelona can be thankful to Antoine Griezmann, who produced two massive goals when the ‘Blaugrana’ needed them most. Despite winning, Barça suffered hugely today, and looked shattered out on the pitch. It’s surely now time for Ronald Koeman to slowly rotate a few players here and there in the coming games, as the title race seriously heats up.
