Six Six - This is Xavi's balance of points as Barcelona coach.
Tonight (Saturday) Barça had a hard time at La Ceramica Stadium but in the end an excellent move by Memphis Depay gave them a 1: 3 victory on a not-so-simple pitch in the 14th round of La Liga.
After a zeroed-out first half, Frankie de Jong put Barcelona ahead in the 48th minute, but since then the hosts have completely taken control of the game and Samuel Chukawaza found the equalizer in the 76th minute.
Villarreal's attempts to complete a makeover come to naught, and a huge personal operation by Memphis DePay after a series of errors by the defense sets up a 1-2 draw for Barcelona as opposed to the course of the game.
In extra time, Filippa Coutinho squeezed a penalty and set the result of the game from the penalty spot - 1: 3, which raises Barcelona's balance to 23 points.
