Events

Match Events

  • 0' Villarreal CF have kicked off against FC Barcelona. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ferran Torres made 425 appearances and scored 76 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Albiol, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio de la Ceramica with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 15' Marc-Andre ter Stegen, a Germany goalkeeper, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 18' GOAL! Pedri scores on 18. Assisted by Robert Lewandowski
  • 23' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Villarreal CF side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 28' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 33' The 22-year-old Pablo Gavira has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 36' The Villarreal CF bench stirs into life. Francis Coquelin is withdrawn and Samuel Chukwueze gets his opportunity.
  • 37' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Pau Torres.
  • 38' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Pau Torres.
  • 43' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ronald Araujo.
  • 44' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ronald Araujo on 44.
  • 49' Alejandro Baena catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 49.
  • 54' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 56' It’s a booking for FC Barcelona player. Frenkie de Jong gets a Yellow card.
  • 58' The referee has no hesitation. Jules Kounde is booked for FC Barcelona — Yellow card on 58.
  • 62' A moment of madness from Dani Parejo on 62 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Villarreal CF will be frustrated.
  • 67' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 71' Alberto Moreno catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 71.
  • 76' Franck Kessie has been relatively quiet despite scoring 41 goals in his last 517 appearances.
  • 81' Raphinha picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 81' Raphinha makes way for Ferran Torres at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Barcelona.
  • 83' The crowd applauds Alberto Moreno as he leaves the pitch. Trigueros steps in for Villarreal CF.
  • 88' It looks surprising Villarreal CF does not make any changes. Pepe Reina has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 89' The whistle greets Franck Kessie as he departs to be replaced by Jordi Alba.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for FC Barcelona players.
