Villarreal 0-2 Barcelona: 5 Talking Points

#1 Roberto Soriano substituted in the 64th minute

FC Barcelona v Villarreal CF - La Liga

He was the most impressive Villarreal player on the pitch on Sunday evening. He brought an outstanding save out of ter Stegan in the 16th minute with a firm effort on goal and never stopped running.

He was threatening on the counter-attack with dashing runs and gave Jordi Alba a hard time. He constantly tested ter Stegen and never gave a moment of peace to Barcelona's defence. However, he was let down by the final ball and his shooting was wayward.

His evening came to a premature end as manager Javier Calleja opted for a more defensive approach after Raba was sent off, replacing Soriano with Antonio Rukavina. With Soriano gone, Villareal looked flat and rarely threatened Barcelona. All in all, it was a very impressive performance by the 26-year-old winger.
