Barcelona 3-0 Villarreal, 2015/16 La Liga: Match Review, Community Player Ratings

Barcelona continued their unbeaten streak since losing to Sevilla several weeks ago with a huge win against Villarreal on Sunday. Do not let the 3-0 scoreline fool you into thinking it was easy. The Yellow Submarine brought the fight to the hosts, but the Blaugrana were just too good in the second half and were able to pick up the victory thanks to another goal-scoring performance from Luis Suárez and especially Neymar Jr, who stole the show with one of the most beautiful goals we've seen.
