"When Chelsea took down Barcelona at Stamford Bridge, Hansi Flick promised that a new Barcelona would arrive in the coming games and that the results would change immediately. The manager could not have lived up to his word better, nor could the team have found a better point in time to step up. Since that fated clash in London, Barcelona have played six games and won all six of them. They have scored 17 goals in that duration and conceded just six."
"17 games into the league season, Barcelona are comfortably on top of the league table with 43 points as they have won 14 of their games, drawn once, and lost two games. Real Madrid, as it stands, are the closest to them in terms of points as they linger on 39 points with as many games played. Notably, they have two more draws and as many defeats as the Catalans."
Hansi Flick promised a refreshed Barcelona after the Stamford Bridge loss and the team has responded with six consecutive wins. Barcelona scored 17 goals and conceded six during that run. The team travels to Estadio de La Ceramica to face Villarreal with the aim of completing a flawless December. After 17 La Liga games Barcelona sit top with 43 points from 14 wins, one draw and two losses. Real Madrid follow on 39 points with the same games played, two more draws and the same number of defeats. Villarreal occupy third on 35 points and have played two fewer games. Barcelona lead the league in scoring with 49 goals, while Villarreal possess the best defensive record with 13 goals conceded. Matches between the two clubs have traditionally produced many goals, making the fixture a potential title-shaping encounter.
