Day 5 of the Santander League, intersemanal match between Barcelona and Villarreal. We will need the Blaulgrana team to win the match and mark Leo Messi.
Barcelona is in a delicate moment after the Dortmund tie and, above all, the defeat in Granada. It occupies the 7th place with only 7 points and, waiting for Sevilla – Real Madrid, it is 3 points but that difference will increase for sure. Villarreal is 5th with 8 points in a good start for those of Vila Real.
The Catalan team comes from a tough defeat against Granada so this game is essential for a Valverde that hardly regains the confidence of many of the fans of the Catalan team. In this match it will have almost all its troops in which we have to highlight the return of Messi and Suarez, which we saw before Granada, so it should not fail here.
The defensive aspect is one thing that should improve a lot if you want to get titles this season but you have a fearsome offense that, although you still have to adapt with new players like Griezmann or the appearance of Ansu Fati and Carles Pérez, it is an asset to win any team of the world.
He also faces a Villarreal who has received 8 goals in 5 league games and save his goal is not his most notable facet. Barcelona will have to be careful with the speed and offensive capacity of Gerard Moreno, Ontiveros, Toko Ekambi, Bacca or Moi Gómez if he does not want to suffer as much as he is doing so far.
The other part of the bet is the goal of the best player in the world. Leo Messi is back and has already appeared against Granada in the league. We saw Barcelona improve around him and Ansu Fati and its simple presence greatly stresses the rivals. I have also thought about Luis Suarez’s goal but I prefer to go to the “safer” and less than with the Argentine star.
Therefore, a very important match of Barcelona against a tough opponent to overcome but I think that in his stadium and with Messi recovered I think he has the absolute obligation to win despite not being at his best and that the Argentine gets a goal after returning from an injury that your team has noticed a lot.
