Good evening everybody and welcome along to another MARCA in English live blog, this time taking you through the LaLiga clash between Barcelona and Villarreal at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys at Montjuic in Barcelona.
The match will be of secondary importance to the overwhelming majority inside the ground. Players, staff and fans have been in celebratory mode since Barcelona clinched the league title on Thursday night at rivals Espanyol, with a parade through the streets of the Catalan capital taking place on Friday.
It has been an extraordinary first campaign for coach Hansi Flick, who will now likely rest regular starters and give some minutes to youth players as he alluded to in his pre-match press conference.
Robert Lewandowski, however, will be determined to start, as he bids to retain the league's top scorer prize, the Pichichi. Currently on 25 LaLiga goals, he has fallen behind Kylian Mbappe (28) during his recent spell on the sidelines through injury.
It could be a day of celebration for the visitors too. Villarreal, currently occupying the final Champions League spot in fifth, are five points ahead of Real Betis with two games to go. A point at Montjuic would almost certainly seal their return to Europe's top club competition, while a win would guarantee it.
For Barcelona, Jules Kounde and Ferran Torres will miss out through injury, but Pau Cubarsi and Alejandro Balde could return. Villarreal, meanwhile, will be without Kiko Femenia, Raul Albiol, Thierno Barry and Ilias Akhomach due to injury.
