Although Ter Stegen signed a brilliant first-half, in which it starred three anthological stops for desquiciar to the forwards of the Villarreal, could not avoid the target of Samu Chukwueze that propició the 1-2 to the edge of the half hour of game, and to the start of the second half made a mistake to the not protecting the short stick when Ekambi, instead of centring, decided to shoot to goal.

The satisfy arrived with the third goal, work of Iborra in the minute 62. It confirmed like this no only the traced back of the Villarreal when giving him the turn to a 0-2, but also the defensive fragility of a Barça that did not achieve to survive without Gerard Hammered present in the saga. The no-presence of the central Catalan and his speed in career caused a deficit that Lenglet -mermado physically- and Umtiti -without rhythm- attained to counter.

The Villarreal had of several clear opportunities of goal in the first-half, but three anthological stops of Ter Stegen, in two hands manually and a finish aerial, avoided greater evils. In the second act was when to the Barça saw him the shames. Umtiti And Lenglet did not finish to understand in the marks and left a lot space between them, that was very taken advantage of by the speed of Ekambi and Chukwueze.

Neither they helped the losses of Busquets, Arthur and Arturo Vidal in the centre of the field. If something has this Villarreal is capacity of contragolpe, and the two forwards of African origin of the Villarreal carried a danger tremendo to the goal of Ter Stegen. In fact, before arriving to the minute 70, a shot of Chukwueze that was diverted en última instancia by Ter Stegen, and touched in the crossbar, was about to to mean the 4-2.

Ter Stegen, with an excessive work

The FC Barcelona was very touched in defence, and the Villarreal did not leave to attack in spite of having the traced back in the sack. The ones of Javi Alley did not devote only and exclusively to defend, but they followed presionando to the Barça in the medullary and, with the theft of some balloons, caused serious frights that by little sank definitively to the Barça.

Toko Ekambi Went back to shoot in the minute 71, and Ter Stegen saw forced to go back to take part for blocar the balloon. The party, in definite, turned into the last twenty minutes in an authentic correcalles, with clear opportunities of the Villarreal and also approaches of the FC Barcelona, that gave gone in to Leo Messi from the bench like main argument for 'trace back the traced back'. A party of crazy.
