Barcelona 3 – 5 Villarreal (Jan-27-2024) LaLiga Highlights
Barcelona’s hopes of challenging for the LaLiga EASPORTS title took a huge dent after they succumbed to a 5-3 defeat against Villarreal at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Saturday.
Coach Xavi Hernandez insisted he had the backing of the board despite calls for the club icon to be sacked after their Copa Del Rey exit in midweek. But it remains to be seen if he will survive following their latest loss.
Alex Baena struck home after just three minutes of play but the offside flag was correctly raised, but it was a warning sign for Barcelona, who have been guilty of conceding early in recent games.
