Lamine Yamal scored in the seventh minute from a poor pass by Villa midfielder Joao Gomes, according to Al Jazeera. Raphinha added two goals in the second half, the first after a pass from Fermin Lopez and the second from close range after a cross from Joao Cancelo, according to Al Jazeera. CBS Sports described Raphinha’s second-half goals as a 12-minute brace.
Both outlets reported Raphinha now has 19 goals this season across all competitions for Barcelona. The result followed Barcelona’s earlier league-phase defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
Al Jazeera reported that Villa held up well early but were undone by Barcelona’s quality near goal. Barcelona remain in contention for a top-eight finish in the league phase, the outlet added.
