BARCELONA, Feb 27, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Barcelona host high-flying Villarreal on Saturday aiming to tighten their grip on pole position in La Liga amid concerns about the form of strikers Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres. Coach Hansi Flick has rotated between the veteran Pole and the Spaniard this season to lead the attack, but neither has fully convinced. Lewandowski has five goals in his last 18 games, but seems less mobile than before and a peripheral presence at times. Barca still lead La Liga for goals scored, with 67, but they are coming from everywhere -- 10 different players have scored two or more, and nobody has more than Torres on 12. Flick's side lead La Liga by a point ahead of Villarreal's visit.
