THE PREDICTION
Villarreal are a determined, battling team who will not lie down in the intimidating surrounds of Camp Nou. In Barcelona, they face a side who have conceded goals in all of their last five games, but the form and finesse of Messi should prove enough to swing the game in favour of the hosts.
