"Barcelona endured a challenging period earlier this month, suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi‑final and then falling 2-1 to Girona in league action. Flick's team, however, responded in convincing fashion last weekend, recording a 3-0 victory over Levante to reclaim top spot."
"Flick's side have been one of the league's most ruthless teams this season, winning 20 of their 25 matches and scoring 67 goals. Three members of their attack-Ferran Torres (12), Lamine Yamal (10) and Robert Lewandowski (10)-have already reached double figures in La Liga for the 2025-26 campaign."
"Barcelona have also dominated the historical matchup with Villarreal, winning 35 of the 57 meetings between the clubs across all competitions. Their most recent encounter ended in a 2-0 win earlier this season in the reverse fixture."
