FC Barcelona sinks against Villarreal

With worrying feverishness, FC Barcelona sank at the end of added time against Villarreal (5-3) at the end of a crazy match where they had turned the situation around in 12 minutes, plunging a little further into crisis. Still third, Barça, reigning champion, is now ten lengths behind its eternal rival, Real Madrid (1st), and eight behind its astonishing neighbor, Girona (2nd), before its trip to Vigo on Sunday. Manhandled, the Catalans waited to be led 2-0 after a goal from Akhomach (54th) to show a more dignified face and take the lead in a few minutes thanks to Gündogan (60th), Pedri (68th) and an own goal from Eric Bailly (72nd). But they fell a third time in front of the former Parisian Guedes (84th), before completely collapsing in added time by conceding two new goals from Sorloth (90+9) and Morales (90+12).
