There are three players who stand out within the team and are responsible for Villarreal's offense. The first is Gerard Moreno (#7), he plays in the forward position and is in charge of distributing the attack. He is the team's second highest scorer with 9 goals in the 2021-2022 season. The next player is Dani Parejo (#5), in 31 games played he has 2 goals and 9 assists which makes him the team's biggest assister. Finally, the attacker Arnaut Danjuma (#15), in LaLiga has scored 10 goals and 3 assists, for that reason he is the team's top scorer.
They are in the middle table of LaLiga. After 15 wins, 11 draws and 11 losses, they add up to 56 points, which places them in seventh place in LaLiga. With seventh place, the team has a ticket to participate in the UEFA Conference League and must win the next game to secure the position. Their last game was against Real Sociedad, where they lost 2-1 and thus recorded their eleventh loss in the tournament.
The next three players are considered key to Barca's attacking attack and any of them are likely to score in the match against Villarreal. The player Ousmane Dembélé (#7) is a fundamental piece for the team. He is the team's highest assister in LaLiga with 13 assists in 15 games played, as well as scoring one goal. Next up is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (#25), he plays in the forward position, during the tournament he has achieved 11 goals and 1 assist. He is a very experienced player and the team's second highest scorer in the tournament so he will be key to defeating them. Finally, Memphis Depay (#9) the Dutchman who plays as a striker. He is a very important player, he is the team's best scorer and sixth best assister with 12 goals and 2 assists in the 2021-2022 season.
They have had a pretty good 2021-2022 season, however they still need to finish the tournament. After 21 wins, 10 draws and 6 losses, they have 73 points, which places them in second place in the general table. At the moment they are in a position that gives them a ticket to the group stage of the Champions League. They were eliminated from the UEFA Europa League after losing 3-4 in the quarterfinals against Frankfurt, so now they only focus on LaLiga. Their last game resulted in a draw against Getafe, the score was 0-0 away and thus Barca got 4 games without losing.
The Camp Nou is located in the city of Barcelona, Spain. It will be the venue for this match, it has a capacity of 99,354 spectators and it is the home of Fútbol Club Barcelona. It was inaugurated on September 24, 1957 and is the stadium with the largest capacity in Europe.
