Barça’s 1×1 against Villarreal

Firm to stop the actions of Villarreal, who for many minutes of the first half came little to their domains

Difficulties in the moments of greatest pressure for Villarreal. He threw himself to the ground to cut a ball that hit him in the hand and could have been punished as a penalty. Inconsistent in defense.

Impressive on defense, cutting off all kinds of actions and keeping an effective eye on Danjuma. Once again, intractable on defense. He gave the scare in an action with Pedraza in which his knee bent in an unthinkable way

A pass from him at the beginning almost generated a goal for Villarreal and his grab for Albiol could have been a penalty. Had a lot of problems

He had an intense duel with Yeremi, who beat him back repeatedly in the second half. He neither defended with solvency nor could he attack

Many difficulties for Busquets in the exit of the ball, with unusual losses for him this season.

He is already one of the players that rivals take into account when scoring. They have not allowed him to progress like other days.

It generated game. He scored and gave an assist to Memphis that the forward missed incomprehensibly

Very incisive on the right wing, he was Barça’s most incisive striker, with a devastating ‘one against one’ and even a header to the post. Many problems in defense

He redeemed himself, in the final stretch, with a providential and very valuable goal, when he caught a ball, surpassed Albiol and the goalkeeper and resolved. In the first half, the wasted opportunity to pass from Frenkie de Jong, from the penalty spot, was unforgivable

Villarreal took pains to prevent him from progressing. He participated less and wasted a clear opportunity, but he fought as always

He had to go out on the left wing to replace an Alba Mingueza

It was not the day of Benfica. Villarreal pressure kept him at bay

He scored, from a penalty committed on himself, the final 1-3. He made good use of the minutes
