Where to watch Barcelona vs Villarreal for free in La Liga?
  • Barcelona and Villarreal have not drawn any of their last 11 matches against each other.
  • On Sunday, May 18, 2025, at 5:00 PM GMT, Barcelona will face Villarreal at home at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in the 37th La Liga match.
  • Barcelona's winning streak in the league, which spans 17 games (W15 D2), is their greatest since a 19-game run from December 2020 to April 2021 (W16 D3).

After winning the Catalan derby on Thursday night, Barcelona is likely to receive the La Liga trophy at the conclusion of their match against Villarreal on Sunday night. Barcelona defeated Espanyol 2-0 thanks to goals from Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez, but Villarreal will try to spoil the celebration this weekend because the Yellow Submarine are still in doubt of finishing in the top five.

Barcelona have secured the Spanish league in their last fixture. Mallorca was holding second-place Real Madrid, and Barcelona was only seconds away from winning La Liga on Wednesday night. However, Los Blancos found a last-minute victory to keep Hansi Flick's team honest before their match against Espanyol. Although Flick has already won the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup in his first season as manager, the team's Champions League defeat is still a major disappointment. Given the potential in their team, it would not be shocking to see Barcelona dominate Spanish football again when they return to a refurbished Camp Nou for the upcoming season. However, Real Madrid is preparing for a busy summer transfer market. Next weekend, the Catalan powerhouses will play Athletic Bilbao to round off their season, although the celebration of winning the La Liga championship is anticipated to start on Sunday.

Speaking of improvements next season, manager Hansi Flick said, “From the start, the players are focused. That’s what I want from them. We can see it in other teams; when they’ve been together for years, it’s easier. We’re doing well. We analyse everything and will work hard.” He added, "Not just those players who have played more, but Frenkie and Pedri – what a level. They’ve played at an incredible level. That’s what I want to see. Every player giving 100%. Not just when we have possession. Pedri and Frenkie have improved defensively.”

On the players' part, Inigo Martinez will return to their squad following the veteran defender's ban against Espanyol; however, Ronald Araujo is doubtful because of a muscle injury that kept him out on Thursday night. Other than that, Alejandro Balde, Pau Cubarsi, and Fermin are all expected to start for Flick this weekend, despite the fact that Jules Kounde, Ferran Torres, and Marc Bernal are also out.

Meanwhile, Villarreal are currently placed fifth in the league with 64 points from 36 games, five points ahead of sixth-placed Real Betis in their race to be a part of the UEFA Champions League next season. Marcelino's club will be coming off four straight victories, defeating Espanyol, Osasuna, Girona, and Leganes. Next weekend, they will play Sevilla at home in their last league match of the season. Despite having the third-best attacking record in the league with 64 goals, Villarreal has been a great watch this season. However, they have also let up 47 goals, the most of any team in the top six. When the two teams faced off in the rematch earlier this season, the Yellow Submarine lost 5-1, despite their amazing 5-3 triumph against Barcelona in the comparable encounter the previous season.

Although Thierno Barry, Raul Albiol, Ilias Akhomach, and Kiko Femenia will be out due to injury, the visitors are otherwise well-prepared for their matchup with Barcelona. Last time out, Ayoze Perez scored two goals against Leganes, giving the Spain international 18 league goals so far this season. On Sunday, he will once more play in the last third of the pitch.
