Raphinha and Lamine Yamal were on target as Barcelona won 2-0 away at Villarreal on Sunday to keep their four-point lead at the top of LaLiga as the Spanish top flight breaks until January.

Rik and Toni discuss the win at the Cerámica, as Barça snapped Villarreal's six-game winning steak in LaLiga by taking theirs to eight matches. There is of course some customary Ferran talk, but also Flick's Raphinha rant, the need for defensive reinforcements after Christensen's injury and doubts about an Eric-Frenkie midfield pairing.
