Villarreal vs Barcelona
Spanish Primera Division, 22h00
When Barcelona defeated Realmadrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, almost everyone was of the opinion that the Blaugrana cannot lose the title anymore. Yet, this was a very bad week for them, as Inter scrapped a memorable qualification at the Camp Nou Stadium playing with only 10 men for more than an hour. Such was Barcelona's lack of aggression that the Italian champions found it kind of normal to progress to the Final.
Tonight Barca can lose also the Primera Division title, as they take on Villarreal. The Yellow Submarine is a traditional tormentor for the Catalans as they frustrated Guardiola's men time and time again. The last two games finished with draws in the Camp Nou, after a Barcelona win and two Villarreal victories.
The hosts are in with a chance to get a UCL spot at the last sprint so it will very important for them to compete at their highest capabilities tonight.
I tip Villarreal not to lose tonight, at 6/5.
