Start of match

End of match

  • 94'
    And that's all she wrote! Barcelona were simply too hot to handle for Villarreal. Despite the visitors coming back into the game in the second half, a Dembele brace sent them to the sword at the death.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
en el 93' (Barcelona)
  • 93 '
    WHAT A GOAL! BARCELONA! DEMBELE! It's a wonder goal! Picking the ball up on the half-way line, the Frenchman beats his man and goes directly for goal. Unphased by Asenjo sprinting out from between the sticks, Dembele produces an audacious scooped chip to double his tally and make it 5-1!
  • 91'
    Villarreal get an eye of goal but Castillejo cant's sort his feet and watches on as the ball is pinched off his toes.
  • 90'
    There will be three added minutes at the Camp Nou.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
en el 87' (Barcelona)
  • 87 '
    GOAL! BARCELONA! DEMBELE! Rakitic breezes down the right and squares the ball to Dembele to roll into an empty net. Easy peasy. 4-1 and Barca restore their three-goal lead!
  • 87'
    The free-kick is met by a brave Cillessen punch and Barca shoot up the other end of the pitch.
  • 86'
    Castillejo beats two men down the right before getting swept out by Rakitic. Villarreal have a free-kick far out by the touchline.
  • 83'
    Another deflection almost dupes Cillessen as Rodrigo hammers his effort off Sansone's head but this time it goes wide of the target.
  • 83'
    Digne is up and willing to run that one off.
  • 81'
    Digne is down clutching his ankle after being caught late by Gaspar. Valverde might regret using up all of his substitutes!

  • 80 '
    Yerri Mina replaces Pique. That's both sides out of substitutions now.
  • 79'
    Messi slips Suarez through on goal but the Uruguayan drags his shot wide. It wouldn't have counted anyway as the linesman flag was up.
  • 77'
    Villarreal string a few passes together in Barca's box but can't find a way through and the Catalans get the ball clear.
  • 75'
    Sansone picks the ball up on the edge of the box and blasts an effort over the crossbar. That was never going to trouble Cillessen.
Goal disallowed

Goal disallowed

  • 73'
    A fancy backheel flick from Dembele puts Coutinho in on goal and the Brazilian tucks the ball inside the left post. It won't count though, Coutinho was in an offside position.

    The Camp Nou erupts to cheer Iniesta off the pitch. Suarez is his replacement.

    Almost another for the visitors! Cillessen is forced to push the ball away on his goal-line after a header was directed towards his net.

    Trigueros makes way for Javi Fuego. Will this substitution have the same impact as the last?

  • 54 '
    GOAL! VILLARREAL! SANSONE! Fornals' effort takes a wicked deflection off Sansone and rolls past Cillessen. 3-1!
  • 51'
    Villarreal come close! Gaspar darts down the right wing and clips the ball to Bacca who's control bounces up for him to volley goalwards. Unfortunately for the striker, his effort was lacking in accuracy.
  • 47'
    The visitors are enjoying some possession in the first few minutes of the second half. Barca look happy to sit off for the moment.

    Change at half-time. Sansone replaces Cheryshev for Villearreal.
  • 46'
    Villarreal get us underway for another 45 mnutes!
  • 45'
    That's all for the first half! A very strong performance from Barcelona has been too much for the visitors to handle. They have a real mountain to climb in the second period if they went to leave the Camp Nou with any points.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
en el 45' (Barcelona)
  • 45 '
    WHAT A GOAL FROM BARCELONA! MESSI! Vintage link-up play from Iniesta and Messi! The Spaniard delicately dinks the ball over the Villarreal back four for Messi, beating the offside trap, to meet with a side-foot volley beyond Asenjo. 3-0!
  • 43'
    Villarreal break on the counter-attack but Gaspar's pass is wayward and it takes the pace out of the move that ends up in the grasp of Cillessen.
  • 41'
    Great save from Cillessen! Costa found himself with a sight of goal but his punted strike is parried away by Barca's Dutch keeper.
  • 40'
    Dembele does extremely well to cut back to the penalty spot but there's nobody there to turn the ball goalwards.
  • 39'
    Castillejo wrong-foots Digne and whips a dangerous cross to the back stick but it's too high for Cheryshev.
  • 34'
    Corner for Villarreal but it doesn't beat the first man and is hoofed to safety.
  • 29'
    Iniesta, as he has done for almost the entirety of his career with Barca, is pulling the strings here. Slotting his teammates through if threading through the eye of a needle. Oustanding knitwork from the Spaniard.
  • 22'
    Iniesta drags an effort wide of the right post. Barca are not content with their two goal lead. They're hungry for more.
  • 21'
    Barcelona are playing some frighteningly direct football here. With the title pressure off, they're playing with a spring in their step. I would not want to be a Villarreal defender right now.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 16 '
    GOAL! BARCELONA! PAULINHO! The Brazilians are running the show! Digne squares the ball to Paulinho to knock into an empty net. 2-0!
  • 14'
    Cillessen is forced to make a diving save from Fornals' rising effort. Almost the perfect response from the visitors!
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
en el 11' (Barcelona)
  • 11 '
    GOAL! BARCELONA! COUTINHO! Dembele skips past his man and fires a shot at Asenjo which is parried only into the path of the oncoming Brazilian who sweeps the ball into the net for 1-0!
  • 7'
    The first shot of the game comes from none other than Lionel Messi who weaves in the box, works himself a bit of space, and fires wide of the left post.
  • 4'
    It's taken just four minutes for Barcelona to assert their hold on possession. Villarreal will have to be clinical when they get a sniff of the ball.
  • 2'
    Semedo almost runs himself into trouble when he's dispossessed on the right but Pique is there to mop up.
  • 1'
    We're underway at the Camp Nou!
