Match preview
After a pretty catastrophic week for Barcelona, will they get back to winning ways?
Eight nights ago, Barça’s Champions League campaign was all but ended by a chaotic 3-3 draw with Inter.
Then, on Sunday afternoon, Xavi’s team were beaten in the first Clásico of the season, going down 3-1 at the Bernabéu.
Robert Lewandowski squandering a guilt-edged opportunity in the first half, before Ferran Torres did manage to half the deficit, only for Real Madrid to seal the win with a late spot-kick.
The Blaugrana had won seven successive league games beforehand but now, assuming Real win at bottom of the table Elche, will kick off six points adrift.
Villarreal meantime make the 176 mile trip north in high spirits, following a victory on Monday night.
Unai Emery’s men were actually winless in four La Liga games beforehand, but are back up to seventh.
So now, having won at Camp Nou back in May, can Villarreal make it back-to-back victories over Barça for the first time since 2007?
