Barcelona fell behind early to La Liga, but after knocking on the board for most of the first half, they are back level at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
Hansi Flick named a strong side for the match despite earlier reports that significant changes would be made, but it mattered not in the opening four minutes as Villarreal took the lead. The goal came from Ayoze Perez, who continued his excellent recent form.
Barcelona have rallied since then, and they are now level. And it is another player on top of their game that has scored: Lamine Yamal.
Lamine Yamal magic again! ๐ช
The Barcelona starlet with another fantastic strike and he levels it up against Villarreal ๐ฅ

Itโs a textbook finish from the 17-year-old. Cutting inside on the left, he has found the far corner for his ninth La Liga goal of the season.
Barcelona have played well so far, and despite winning La Liga already, they are motivated to win this one. It remains to be seen if they can come away with the three points.
