Barcelona’s Rollercoaster: Villarreal Prevails 5-3 in Montjuïc Thriller

FC Barcelona found themselves empty-handed against Villarreal in Montjuïc (3-5). Xavi Hernández’s team, initially trailing 0-2, fought back valiantly to take the lead, but a late equalizer from Guedes, followed by goals from Sorloth and Morales, sealed the fate of the Blaugrana.

Gerard Moreno and Ilias Akhomach made it an uphill battle for Barcelona. Nonetheless, the goals from Gündogan, Pedri, and Araujo reignited hope for the Blaugrana in the Montjuïc encounter. The visitors leveled the score at 3-3 in the final stretch, and VAR overturned a potential penalty for Barcelona almost in injury time, a decision Xavi Hernández labeled as “a disgrace” in front of the cameras.

In the dying moments, Sorloth and Morales struck to secure victory for Villarreal.
