Depay 2-1. Villarreal played well but against run of play, Barca scored.

How Barca are winning is a mystery. Villarreal should've won this.

Barca don't deserve this, but that was a stupid header. Deserved to be punished.

Villarreal also fell apart both matches against United. They are so poor at finishing and it costs them every time.

I’ll take the 3 points

Similar to the penalty given for a clear dive against Espanyol..? Plenty more where these came from this season me thinks.

Barcelona are too big to fail, football been like this for years now unfortunately.

Wow, Villarreal's so bad this season and they have Sevilla and La Real in next three games so could drop to 16th place or so soon.

This is a fairly significant match, and Sevilla lead so far by a goal at Bernabeau. Madrid have plenty of time to turn it around.

Looked a clear dive live but on replay i think that was a penalty honestly. Trips him. We got away with that i think

This game has turned a bit dire in the second half. Has anything actually happened?

Got to say Madrid look good this season, with Alaba and Camavinga fitting in nicely, Benz showing no signs of slowing down and Vini in this form. If they add Mbappe next season they'll be scary.

Watching this game I say to my self Athletic are a very good side, then I see Marcelino is the coach and thenI think it all makes sense now.

I consider him to be quite underrated when compared to his peers. His teams are so tough to beat, and they cause problems against all sorts of opponents.

We are going nowhere. I can't believe we keep winning these games right now

This might be the lowest quality this league has been in 25 years...

You need a proper coach, tbh. Ancelotti is past it. Whenever I've looked at Madrid this season, despite winning games, they look largely underwhelming and boring. Sorta like us under Ole. Only reason you're running away with the title is because Atletico are in a post-title downturn and Barca are shambles. Next year it'd be better with Mbappe and a couple of signings to replace the old guard, but I really don't see Ancelotti as the coach to progress Madrid further.

I swear, whenever I check the scores, it's Barca 0-0 first half.

Barcelona currently playing like a bad bundesliga team : trying to accelerate without being properly set on the pitch and without any control of empty spaces in case they need to counter press. Lucky for them, Bayern isn't here to split them in half. Oh wait... Might get really ugly next week.

60% possession though so Xavi will think they’re winning the real battle.
