Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Villarreal CF launch into their encounter with FC Barcelona.
  • 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Xavi Hernandez might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 10' Moi Gomez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 20 goals in his last 250 appearances.

  • 26' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Yeremi Pino.

  • 36' It’s high time Xavi Hernandez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 48' Against the run of play, Frenkie de Jong has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 53' Albiol is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Barcelona tonight.
  • 58' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
