The new Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernández, made his home debut by winning in Villarreal 1-3 in a vibrant game during a goalless first half, and with goals in the resumption, but which was resolved with punishment for the locals and a prize for the visiting team with two outsiders almost on the horn.
The first half was full of chances, but neither team found their way to the goal despite having had it very close, while the game opened in the early stages of the restart with 0-1, prior to 1- 1 set by Chukwueze a quarter of an hour from the end of the match.
After the draw, Villarreal had options to unbalance the match in their favor, but after an error by Estupiñán, Menphis dribbled to Rulli and scored before Coutinho, from a penalty, put the 1-3 on the scoreboard.

THE PREVIOUS
Barcelona and Villarreal They are measured this Saturday at La Cerámica looking for the points and the confidence they lack after an initial stretch of the competition in which they have been far from what was expected of them.
The Barça team, led by Xavi Hernández, returns to LaLiga in which they have not yet beaten away at home this season and the big problem continues to be the lack of a goal. In the first 18 games of the season (13 in the League and 5 in the Champions League) they have scored 22 goals (20 in the League and 2 in Europe), while in the same stretch of last season they already accumulated 41.
In the five games that the Catalans have played away from home so far, they have accumulated two defeats (against Atlético de Madrid and Rayo Vallecano) and three draws (against Athletic Club, Cádiz and Celta de Vigo). The only victory away from home of the course was achieved in the Champions League in Kiev, where they beat Dinamo 1-0.
But the arrival of Xavi Hernández, who faces his first game outside the Camp Nou as Barcelona coach, has been a stroke of hope, that with him on the bench he has not yet conceded a goal (1-0 against Espanyol and 0- 0 against Benfica).
For its part, in the league competition Villarreal is still far from the European places to which it aspires, so the match is presented as a good opportunity to receive a favorable emotional blow with a victory despite the fact that in the history of Barcelona He has fourteen visits without losing in La Cerámica, with a balance of five draws and nine foreign victories.
