Barca suffered an away loss to Barcelona on Thursday at the Nou Camp. Barca were looking forward to playing again after losing their last match 3-1 to R Madrid. Villarreal were looking to extend their winning run after a 2-0 victory against Osasuna. Barca are now in 2nd place, with 25 points from 10 matches, while Villarreal sit in 9th, with 15 points from 10.

Los Blaugranas didn’t take long to get on the score-sheet, when Robert Lewandowski opened the rout, at 31 minutes. The momentum was again with Barca, who then scored again courtesy of a 2nd effort from Robert Lewandowski in the 35th minute to establish a 2-0 result. However they weren’t finished yet and Ansu Fati made it 3-0 on the 38 minute mark, ending the first half 3-0. Both teams unable to deliver anything further, the score remained at 3-0 at full time.
