He Barcelona responded forcefully to Real Madrid’s world title. Xavi’s team has a positive scenario to show their fans after the consecration of their rival: a new victory for LaLiga, 1-0 against Villarreal at the La Cerámica stadium, to sustain himself as the leader of the tournament: 56 points in 21 dates, 11 units above Merengue.
The goal was from Pedri, after a good wall with Lewandowski, in the first half. It was during that stage that Culé presented their best version against the Yellow Submarine (starting Foyth). The Catalans did not have Busquets and Dembélé, both out due to injury, but they went 16 games without defeat, a demonstration of the team’s good moment.
The Barcelona players celebrate the victory.Pedri’s moment is more than valuable: his seventh goal in the tournament boosted with relevant data, four times his goals served to make it 1-0. It was the seventh time that Barcelona won for this result in the tournament (fourth in the last five games), something that had not happened since the 96/97 League (data revealed by the statistics expert Mister Chip).

During the second half, the game became more complicated than imaginable for Barcelona. Villarreal deepened their attack and had two clear chances, both wasted by Morales. Culé endured the onslaught and suffered even in stoppage time, when Chukwueze scored a goal that was canceled offside.
Other high points of Barcelona: the Uruguayan Araujo in defense and De Jong in midfield. His distance in the classification does not sentence LaLiga, it does generate rational optimism.
