It’s not even two days complete as since the clasico and Barcelona take on another rivals in La Liga in a days time almost. Everyone knows what the result of the Sunday’s El Clasico was and it was a draw. Barca will be disappointed with that.

The Blaugrana have already won the La Liga and also the Copa del Rey. They are now hoping that they remain unbeaten in their next three league games and achieve a unique feat. Barca so far have not lost a single game in La Liga this season and are on the verge of becoming the first team in Spain of going the whole season undefeated.

On the other hand, Villarreal are have had a fine season so far and will be hoping for a positive result at the Nou Camp.
