Villarreal FC have impressively reduced the gap to fourth place in the Champions League in LaLiga and Atlético Madrid to three points. The reigning Europa League winner clearly defeated newly promoted Espanyol Barcelona 5-1 on Sunday afternoon. Above all, top talent Yéremy Pino was responsible for the clear success.
The 19-year-old winger scored four goals between the 14th and 53rd minute of the game, including a flawless hat-trick (14th/20th/45th). Pino is considered one of Spain’s greatest hopes for youngsters, having tripled his tally in the game in one fell swoop. In November, the legal footer extended his contract until 2027. Villarreal, who should not only have had regular scouts for Pino in their stands since this game, had increased the exit clause to 80 million euros.
Boulaye Dia scored the final point in the 86th minute in favor of the round of 16 in the “premier class”. Keidi Bare previously only managed to make cosmetic results for the Catalans (65th).
