Barcelona usually beats Villarreal. Therefore, it was expected that they would win today, too, especially because Villarreal was also in relegation difficulties.
But, to my surprise, Villarreal put up an excellent fight.
Even though Alves could have put Barcelona ahead in just the third minute, and there were some great chances for Barca in the second half, too, Guardiola's team just did not have that spark that people expect from them.
And Messi played badly, by his standards.
These two points dropped by Barcelona put Real Madrid in a very comfortable position, 7 points up on the team from Catalonia.
I wonder what Jose Mourinho is thinking...
