In one of the most interesting encounters of the weekend, FC Barcelona and Villarreal face each other for matchday 15 of La Liga Santander. Both teams arrive at Estadio de la Cerámica after poor results in the Champions League: the yellow submarine comes from a 2-0 home defeat against Manchester United, while the Blaugrana wasted the first chance to qualify for the round of 16 due to a 0-0 draw with Benfica at Camp Nou.

After obtaining negative results, both Villarreal and Barcelona will try to recover in the domestic tournament in order to improve spirits and move out of the mid-table positions to aim for European competitions.

Xavi Hernández would repeat most of the lineup that played in the Champions League, adding Ousmane Dembélé from the start. The usual 4-3-3 will continue to be the main weapon of the Culé squad.
