That was an early warning sign for Barcelona. Villarreal have a lot of quality. This will be one of the biggest tests the Catalans will face this season. Emery's team are very capable.

Chance for Moreno! He might have done a bit better with that! The Villarreal striker was left completely free inside the box from a corner kick, but he could only head over the crossbar!

Only one change! Koeman has largely stuck with the same Barcelona team that beat Getafe during the week. This is a group of players that has delivered for the Catalans in recent weeks.
