FC Barcelona has defeated Villarreal, that too in the most dominating fashion ever, which was least expected by many after their UCL opener defeat. From the very beginning, Flick's side was the dominant force of the game, and at the end, they got to a much-deserved 5-1 win at the Ceramica Stadium.

However, the most astonishing fact was that Flick replicated his La Liga heroics, with a heavily rotated lineup, against Villarreal, which had been going strong this far in the season. Speaking to the media after the fixture, Flick said,
""We won 5-1 in Villarreal; it's unbelievable. It was a very attractive match. I congratulate my team; we play so well.""

Once again, as has been the basic flow of Barca's win, the 17-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal stood spectacularly alongside the duo of Raphinha and Lewandowski, who scored a brace each to seal the win in Villarreal City. With this, both Lewandowski and Raphinha reached 8 goal contributions this season, one less than Yamal, who has been too good for opponents.
Although it was much expected that Flick's reunion would resurge the Polish legend, which has been the case, Raphinha's improvement has been remarkable under the German mastermind. In the post-match address, Flick had special words for the Brazilian star, praising the 27-year-old's dedication to the Catalan club. Flick mentioned,
""From the first day I saw Raphinha, I saw a player that gives everything for the club.""

However, the only concern in an otherwise excellent fixture has been Blaugrana's number 1, Ter Stegen's injury, who, in an attempt to collect the ball, ended up facing a severe injury. Immediately, the German international had to be forced off on a stretcher in tears, with Flick calling up Inaki Pena at the stroke of the 1st half.
Hansi Flick looked rather stressed for the German's injury, saying,
""We have to wait for Ter Stegen's results, but it looks like an important injury.""

Moreover, recent reports don't promise anything positive in favor of the Blaugrana club, as Ter Stegen, Barca's priority number 1, is reported to have faced a tendon rupture, which could keep him out for eight months. Overall, although it was a complete fixture for the Catalan Giants, Ter Stegen's season-ending injury has left Flick with serious questions regarding his replacement.
