In their opening game, La Liga side FC Barcelona scored four goals to get past Villarreal at the Camp Nou.
Refurbished FC Barcelona looked fresh and competitive after a disappointing 2019/2020 season. The club totally dominated throughout the entire game.
FC Barcelona teenage star Ansu Fati opened the scoring for his side with a brilliant goal assisted by left-back Jordi Alba. Minutes later, Fati scored another screamer assisted by forward Philippe Coutinho.
Towards the end of the first half, FC Barcelona were awarded a penalty after Villarreal’s Gaspar fouled Fati in the penalty area. Lionel Messi took the shot and scored his first goal of this season’s competition.
Villarreal were completely disadvantaged when their defender Pau Torres scored an own goal. The defender shot the ball directly in his side’s goal after a cross from Messi that was initially meant to be for FC Barcelona’s midfielder Sergio Busquets.
