Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. FC Barcelona get us underway at Camp Nou.
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Barcelona and Villarreal CF are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' Villarreal CF come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' Jordi Alba needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 67 Yellow cards this season.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Samuel Chukwueze made 410 appearances and scored 33 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Xavi Hernandez might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 35' Paco Alcacer has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 40' Over 40 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 41' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Alfonso Pedraza makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 45' The referee shows FC Barcelona player a Yellow card on 45.
  • 50' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 55' What composure from Moi Gomez! The Spain international strokes it home. 0-2.
  • 57' A change in the FC Barcelona ranks — Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang exits the field as Ansu Fati enters on 57.
  • 59' That is a Yellow card for FC Barcelona. Busquets will be fuming at that decision.
  • 64' Pablo Gavira has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 65' A moment of madness from Jordi Alba on 65 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Barcelona will be frustrated.
  • 68' Another substitution for Villarreal CF to replace Mario Gaspar by Nicolas Jackson on 68 minute.
  • 71' Memphis Depay gets the nod from FC Barcelona. He replaces Ferran Torres and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 76' Villarreal CF fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 81' The crowd applauds Dani Alves as he leaves the pitch. Oscar Mingueza steps in for FC Barcelona.
  • 83' A tactical swap from Villarreal CF — Ruben Pena on, Alfonso Pedraza off on 83 minutes.
  • 88' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Villarreal CF that had 410 games and scored 559 goals.
  • The final score is 0-2.
