Barcelona – Villarreal, live: LaLiga Santander today, live | Brand

Last minute of Barcelona – Villarreal of LaLiga Santander, live:

Too soon to fall apart. The Barca He has no choice but to overcome the two sticks he has taken in a week. The azulgranas know that they are practically out of the Champions League, but they cannot allow the Clásico to take its toll on them in the domestic championship. The team knows that there are only three points, but the problem lies in the bad feelings that the players have left.

Xavi He has had to do important psychological work these days to make his players see that a great course can still be signed. That happens by overcoming and not allowing the Villarreal fish in rough river. For that, the egarense prepares changes.

The return of Hector Bellerin, who has already left behind the injury he suffered during training. The coach has missed having more resources in defense during recent games and the former Betis is called to be important on the right side.

Emery’s puzzle against Barcelona

The Villarreal travel to Barcelona after removing the ballast that meant accumulating four consecutive days without winning. The yellows found the way to victory and the goal against Osasunasomething that seemed impossible since the injury of Gerard Moreno.

But precisely the short recovery time after playing at the beginning of this week, the complicated schedule and the fact of having several important footballers with physical discomfort, becomes a headache for Unai Emery. He must put the puzzle back together when it comes to facing three games in seven days with the available numbers and he must decide whether to jump to the Camp Nou with all its ships to protect some assets for Sunday’s game.

With the certain absences of Foyth, Gerard and Coquelinas well as with capoue, Lo Celso and Femenía between cottons throughout the week (they were not in Monday’s call), the yellows will have a good test to consolidate the sensations shown against the red team and show that the reaction was more than a mirage. In a stadium where he already won last season, the Submarine will try to show the image of a well-armed and solid group that the previous year led him to put a pike on some of the great European stages. To be the team with the fewest goals scored in the championship and at the speed of players like Danjuma Y Morales in attack, without main endorsement.
