VILLARREAL CF 2 - 3 FC BARCELONA I HIGHLIGHTS LALIGA EA SPORTS

Transcript

00:00Stunning goals from La Maña Mal and Firmin López were not enough to prevent recently crowned La

00:04Liga champions Barcelona losing at home to Villarreal. The visitors clinched a place in

00:10the top five and next season's Champions League with the comeback success.

00:14Huntsy Flick's side had secured a 28th top-flight title on Thursday with a 2-0 win over rivals

00:19Espanyol, but didn't look particularly hungover after celebrating with 650,000 fans on the streets

00:25of Barcelona on Friday. Though former Newcastle and Leicester striker Ayos Perez converted

00:30Nicolas Pepe's cross to give Villarreal a fourth-minute lead, the hosts responded well to

00:35take a halftime lead. Remarkably, despite winning a league-in-cup double, Barcelona have now conceded

00:41first in 20 games in all competitions this season, but have gone on to win nine of those games and

00:46draw two. Teenager Yamal struck his ninth-league goal of the season with a trademark finish,

00:51cutting inside the defender before curling a low left-footed strike into the far corner.

00:57Furman put Barka ahead in the fifth minute of first-half stoppage time, less than a minute

01:01after Yamal smacked the crossbar following an astonishing piece of skill. A cross was cleared

01:06out to Furman on the edge of the penalty area and he needed just two touches, one to control and

01:11another to shoot, before sending a stinging half-volley past Luis Jr. in the visitor's goal.

01:16Villarreal found themselves under pressure for much of the first half, but leveled five minutes

01:21after the break when Santi Cumsana ran on to Jeremy Pino's perfect through ball and dinked over the

01:25onrushing Marc-Andre Ter Stegen. Knowing victory would put them eight points clear of sixth-placed

01:31Real Betis with a game to spare, the visitors rode their luck before substitute Tajan Buchanan finished

01:36a low cross at the far post for the clincher. A total of 26 goals have now been scored in the

01:42last four meetings between Barcelona, 14 goals, and Villarreal, 12, in La Liga, more than any other

01:47fixture since the start of last season.
