Barcelona welcomes Villarreal to Camp Nou today, hoping to get back on the winning track. Barca lost "El Clasico" 3-1 in Madrid. Despite the defeat, coach Xavi can be satisfied with the game shown in most of the game because Barça was the team that attacked a lot more and created more chances to score. Barcelona invested a lot of money this summer in order to build a team that will fight for the title with Real Madrid again, and it looks like that will be the case this year. Given that Barcelona is not playing very well in the Champions League, the focus of this team should be La Liga, where they conceded only one goal before the game in Madrid. The most important player for Barcelona this season is certainly Robert Lewandowski, but a lot is expected from Ousmane Dembele, who is slowly but surely showing why he was paid a whopping 140 million euros. He and Lewandowski will lead Barcelona's attack today, and Raphinha will probably help them on the sidelines.

As for the guests, they are not having a good time at Camp Nou, in the previous 10 matches they have even 8 defeats, which surely worries coach Unai Emery. Villarreal won the last game and thus ended a streak of 3 games without a win in the championship. Villarreal doesn't play as well away from home as it does at home, and that can be seen in its results, especially in the game in San Sebastian, where they were underdogs for almost the entire match, even though they and Sociedad are of equal strength. Villarreal comes without Gerard Moreno and Giovani Lo Celso for two very important games and it's a big blow for the yellow-blues. Barcelona has shown much more this season in La Liga than the guests, with a victory today they would calm down everyone in the club after the defeat in Madrid and I think that will happen. I expect a tough game and in the end a triumph for Barcelona, ​​who are very strong this season at the Nou Camp.
