In typical boring Barcelona fashion, the extremely negative side needed a set piece to score, as it was the only way they were ever going to find a goal. Now that they’ve found it, I’m sure that they’ll pack ten men behind the ball for the remainder of the match, allowing Villarreal to control possession and forcing them to break down their rigid midfield. Gerard Pique was the scorer, and at this rate, he’ll probably become Barcelona’s leading scorer in La Liga, since it’s not like their forwards or midfield ever do anything going forward.
Villarreal Vs. FC Barcelona: Gerard Pique Scores, Puts Barca Ahead
There are well over 20 minutes remaining in the match and Barcelona could easily push forward for another goal, but they’re obviously going to attempt to sit on this 1-0 lead and milk it for all it’s worth. Giuseppe Rossi of Villarreal is going to have to work especially hard at the end of this game if he wants to find any space between the midfield and defense of Barcelona.
