For the 6th day of La Liga, FC Barcelona travels to the Estadio de la Cerámica to face Villarreal at 6:30 p.m. this Sunday (follow the match live on FM). Barça must make up for their defeat this Thursday against Monaco in the Champions League (2-1) even if they spent 80 minutes with 10 men. Still at 100% victory in the league, the momentum must continue for Barça who are making a poor impression at the start of the season. But with Olmo out for a few more weeks, the Blaugranas are weakened in midfield. For their part, Marcelino’s men have had a good start to the season with 3 wins and 2 draws to give them 5th place in the standings. Their victories are still difficult to obtain with each time a success by a small goal difference.
On the pitch, Hansi Flick makes 3 changes to his eleven compared to Monaco. Torre starts in midfield with Eric Garcia, Pedri in 10. Dominguez in central defense associated with Martinez then Martin at left-back. Raphinha and Lamine Yamal on the wings. Marcelino, for his part, remains faithful to his usual 4-4-2. Costa and Bailly in central defense. Parejo associated with Comesana, Baena and Pino on the wings. Pepe and Ayoze Pérez in the attacking duo.
Team compositions:
Villarreal: Conde – Kiko, Bailly, Costa, Cardona – Pino, Comesana, Parejo (cap.) Baena – Pérez, Pepe.
FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen (cap.) – Koundé, Dominguez, Martinez, Martin – Torre, Garcia – Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Raphinha – Lewandowski.
