The reliability of the Barça of Luis Enrique will put to proof this Sunday (19.00) in the Madrigal, where will find to a Villarreal that has started with strength the season when chaining three triumphs in three parties, two of them in the phase of groups of the Europe League

The team of Luis Enrique finished the first day like leader after a victory convincente in front of the Elche (3-0) and now touches him ratify, in the feudo of a solider rival, the reliability and the good feelings that left intuir seven days ago. The chance of the calendar has wanted that the first trip was in front of a competitive rival, in which for many is one of the first proofs of level that will have to sortear ready to go in in a stop of selections.

The party promises to be intense, if they take into account the precedents of previous seasons, since The Madrigal goes through to be one of the fields in which the Barcelona team has seen quite presionado since the Villarreal is a member of First. Right there it achieved the last victory of the past League, a 2 to 3 agónico with two penaltis in favour

Of the clashes in the terrain of the castellonenses, the statistical sample five local victories, two ties and seven victories visitors, and although the Barcelona has been able to add more triumphs, the Villarreal has achieved not losing in the half of the crashes. Although the Barça does not lose in The Madrigal from the season 2007-08, can not fiar. Between other things, reencontrará with Javier Espinosa and Giovani Two Saints, players bred in the Farm.

To consolidate the good feelings of the first day, Luis Enrique recovers to Neymar, that the Saturday received the high doctor after being drop in the debut of the League by a sprain in the left ankle. By the contrary, loses to Andrés Iniesta, that drags annoyances in the left knee. Like this the things, one of the main doubts in the alignment is to know who suple to the manchego. The technician will have to choose between the experience of Xavi Hernández or the youth of Sergi Roberto to complete the vertebral column, formed by Rakitic and Sergio Busquets.

Also it is missing to know who will be the companions of Leo Messi in attack. All the quinielas aim to that Neymar will go in in the eleven. Thus, the technician has the work of Pedro Rodríguez, the vision of game of Rafinha Alcántara  and the smell goleador of the youngster Munir The Haddadi to occupy one of the three positions of attack. Neither it is clear the couple of Mathieu in the axis of the defence. Mascherano Is drop by sanction and until yesterday all did to think that Gerard Hammered would occupy his place in the eleven. But the statements of the seleccionador Spanish, Vicente of the Forest, in which it ensured that the Catalan drags annoyances, do not close the doors of the titularity to Marc Bartra.

The Villarreal wants to follow with his good initial series of championship, after having won the three first official parties of the season. With this, and after winning to the Raise (0-2), victory to which add the goleadas to the Astana, the "yellow submarine" arrives to this fourth commitment with good feelings. Besides, it will be the première of the team like venue in the championship of League, what can suppose a factor of motivation added.
