The crisis is total at FC Barcelona: Xavi’s team overthrew Villarreal before losing at an incredible end to the match (3-5), Saturday in Catalonia.
Aware of the poor appearance of his FC Barcelona, Xavi opened the door to a departure after the elimination in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday against Bilbao. Here are the Blaugranas in difficulty in La Liga! The reigning champion lost at home to Villarreal (3-5) on Saturday evening, to now be 10 points behind Real Madrid, a leader who can be overtaken by Girona on Sunday.
The second half of this meeting was really crazy. After Gerard Moreno opened the score before half-time (41st), Ilias Akhomach, a product of La Masia, doubled the lead for the Yellow Submarine (54th). But the FCB was then phenomenal, returning to equality thanks to Ilkay Gundogan (60th) and Pedri (68th) before taking the advantage on a csc from Eric Bailly (71st). Incredible turnaround in 11 minutes.
That was without counting an even crazier end to the meeting. Gonçalo Guedes equalized for Villarreal (84th), for his second match since his return to La Liga. Barça obtained a penalty for an opposing handball but this was canceled after viewing the images (92nd) and Villarreal won thanks to goals from Alexander Sorloth (99th) and Jose Luis Morales (112th) at the end of the additional time.
