Barcelona-Villarreal 4-0
See the match summary at the top.
Lionel Messi scored a penalty when he returned to the pitch for Barcelona after this summer’s great transfer saga.
But it was Ansu Fati, 17, who stole the show in the big win over Villarreal. At least the 70 minutes he played.
– We must take things easy with Ansu Fati. We know how young he is and how good he is. He has good players around him, and then we have to allow him to develop. There is no limit to how good it can be, says Sergio Busquets in an interview shown on Strive.
When he scored the penalty that Messi got the honor of scoring in the 35th minute, the super talent had already scored two goals.
The first to hit the goal after Jordi Alba played the ball at 45 degrees.
Second pass to Philippe Coutinho. From an oblique but completely depressurized team, he sent the ball to the far corner. Then 19 minutes were played.
Fati was named the best of the course, but could not receive the award because it is sponsored by a beer producer and he is not old enough. Instead, Jordi Alba received the award.
Barcelona got a lot of time and space from Villarreal, who didn’t get the pressure to sit down.
Before the end of the first half, Barcelona led 4-0 after an own goal by Pau Torres. A Messi post was sent into his own goal by the Villarreal midfielder.
In the second half, Barcelona took their foot off the gas, but a superior victory in the season debut is likely to come in handy, especially considering what a turbulent summer it has been.
Among other things, Luis Suárez was expelled from the club.
He proved with two goals and one assist in his Atlético de Madrid debut early in the day that it’s not about skills.
