La Liga leaders Barcelona visit third-placed Villarreal on Sunday afternoon in one of the biggest games of the season so far in Spain’s top flight.
Hansi Flick’s Barcelona have rebounded admirably since losing to Real Madrid in October’s Clásico. The Catalans have won seven straight in La Liga since and are now sitting four points clear of Los Blancos in the summit of the division.
Villarreal are not far behind, though, winning six straight to climb to third in the standings. Marcelino’s side are eight points back of Barcelona, but with two games in hand, they could easily jump Real Madrid in second and a victory on Sunday could put them in position to leapfrog the defending champions.
This could be a tough watch for La Liga president Javier Tebas. His plan, in the face of strong opposition, was for this monumental clash to take place in Miami until his project collapsed. Now, the Estadio de la Cerámica will witness a marquee match that could signify a turning point in the title race.
