Barcelona will be aiming to make it six successive wins at the start of their 2024-25 La Liga campaign when they head to Villarreal on Sunday night.
Hansi Flick's side have made a 100% start to their domestic season, collecting 15 points from five matches to sit at the top of the table, four points clear of second-placed Atletico Madrid.
However, the Catalan giants will enter this match off the back of a loss, having been beaten 2-1 by Monaco in their Champions League league-phase opener on Thursday evening.
