FC Barcelona won their second La Liga encounter of the season with a hard-fought victory over Villarreal. The Catalans struggled at moments during the game, which was understandable given the number of players they were without due to injury and suspension, but they still walked away with all three points.
Sergi Roberto, the Catalan team’s first captain, led the Catalans in this encounter. The Barcelona captain struggled defensively at times when playing at right-back, but he contributed significantly to the team’s offensive.
