Barcelona are officially La Liga champions, thanks to the skill of the squad's most talented player, Lamine Yamal, who fired a shot into the top corner to secure their first lead of the match against a tough Espanyol, securing the league title in the Catalan derby.

Barcelona will be supported by their fans on Sunday, eager to celebrate, and with little pressure, they will host Villarreal on the penultimate matchday, a team Barça has dominated in recent history.

However, Villarreal understands they have an opportunity, as Barcelona could be taking their foot off the gas. Villarreal also handed Barcelona a 3-5 defeat at the Lluís Company stadium when the team was still managed by Xabi.

In their quest to secure their Champions League spot, Villarreal have won four consecutive matches, the last of which was against Leganés. They had a spectacular first half at the Estadio la Cerámica, with the typical low-field play and high-speed attacks from Marcelino's team.

Our Barcelona vs Villarreal Prediction

Villarreal has yet to beat a team above them in the table currently, but they've never faced a team with as little at stake as Barcelona on Sunday. The last three Villarreal-Barcelona matches have been goal-fests. Both teams thrive on quick passes and attack without much concern for defensive performance if they can score more goals than their opponent. 1-5, 3-5, and 3-4, always with a victory for the visitor, were the results of the three matches between these historic Spanish teams. Our prediction for Barcelona vs Villarreal is: Over 3.5 goals.
