In LaLiga, Barça sit seventh, six points off the top four, after beginning Xavi’s tenure with a 1-0 Catalan derby victory over Espanyol last weekend.
Villarreal were also in action in the Champions League on Tuesday, their 2-0 home defeat to Manchester United leaving them, like Barça, in need of a win in their final group game to be certain of progressing.
Unai Emery’s men are down in 12th in LaLiga, chiefly because of their inability to turn draws into wins: seven of their 13 league games have ended level this term.
