"Barcelona's final game of 2025 will kick off later today at Estadio de La Ceramica against one of La Liga's most in-form teams at the moment - Villarreal. The Yellow Submarines currently sit in third place on the league standings, and deservedly so given that they have only lost two of their 15 games so far this season. Heading into the clash, however, Villarreal are on the back of two consecutive defeats in the UEFA Champions League and the Copa del Rey, respectively,"
"The Polish striker has played thrice at the venue, the first of which came back in 2022-23 when he assisted the only goal in Barcelona's win, which was scored by Pedri. One year later, Barcelona won by a 4-3 margin against Villarreal, and Lewandowski was on the scoresheet as he scored in the 71st minute to complete the comeback and bury the win."
Barcelona face Villarreal at Estadio de La Ceramica to close out 2025. Villarreal sit third in La Liga, having lost only two of their 15 matches this season. Villarreal endured consecutive defeats in the UEFA Champions League and the Copa del Rey ahead of this fixture. Robert Lewandowski has a strong personal record at the Ceramica, with an assist in 2022-23, a goal in the 71st minute of a 4-3 comeback the following year, and two goals plus a missed penalty in the most recent meeting. Lewandowski has not been a regular starter this season, often replaced by Ferran Torres, and the starting decision rests with coach Flick.
