Events

Match Events

  • 29' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Barcelona that had 513 games and scored 767 goals.
  • 34' FC Barcelona currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 35' GOAL! Lionel Messi fires home to make it 3-0!

  • 45' The deadlock is broken! Pau Torres gets on the scoresheet on 45 minutes.
  • 46' The Villarreal CF manager makes a substitution. Paco Alcacer departs to be replaced by Iborra.

  • 89' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Pervis Estupinan suffering a number of foals already.
  • FC Barcelona celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
