According to the report from football-espana,the standout result from Matchday 22 saw struggling mid-table side Villarreal get the better of Barcelona away from home in an 8-goal epic. After progressing to a two-goal lead in the 54th minute, Yellow Submarine let their lead slip by conceding three goals in the space of eleven minutes, with former Manchester United centre-back Eric Bailly being the unfortunate victim of an own goal in the 71st minute.

Just when you thought Barca had completed the comeback, Villarreal fought back with a Goncalo Guedes equaliser and two goals in added time, which resulted in the announcement of Xavi’s departure at the end of the season.
