Three things we learned from Barcelona’s draw at Villarreal

Malcom should start against Atletico Madrid

Malcom was rewarded for an impressive cameo against Espanyol with just his second La Liga start of the season against Villarreal.

The Brazilian quickly went about making an impression for Barca. After just 12 minutes he raced down the right and then produced an incisive pass for Philippe Coutinho to net the opener.

Four minutes later Malcom was heading Barcelona into a 2-0 lead with his first goal in the Spanish top flight.

1 - Malcolm has both scored and assisted in the same game for the first time for @FCBarcelona in all competitions.
