Villarreal vs Real Madrid - La Liga gamethread (Villarreal USA)

The Yellows are back in action today, and you can get involved in the conversation right here.

Though, the Yellows have looked sharp over the last week or so, and they are certainly capable of pulling off a win, especially at home. On Saturday, they face a giant test ahead of a very winnable run of games, facing title hopefuls and reigning champions Real Madrid. The Yellows have returned to action with a bang following the World Cup break, beating rivals Valencia last weekend to move within three points of the top four, and they have since thrashed Cartagena to progress to the next round of the Copa del Rey.

7 4 [Could Hazard be on his way to join Ronaldo? Basically, all the info. Against Cacereño, Hazard was given chance number I-don't-know, and failed to take it, being hooked off the field with plenty of time to spare. He has not been vilified in the way that Gareth Bale was, and to be honest, I don't know why. 7 goals in 73 matches is not even close to a shadow of what he showed at Chelsea, and his time in Spain can only be described in negative terms. It's very sunny at the Cerámica, quite like a nice summer evening. Real Madrid are chasing a league title that would form part of a historic sextuple, something that has never been done before. 15 He has not had a single defining moment, playing an average of just 50 minutes per game, and creating little to nothing for his teammates during that time.

Villarreal vs Real Madrid: Arnaut Danjuma somehow missed with ... (GiveMeSport)

The Yellow Submarine produced a shock with a 20-1 victory in an enthralling La Liga match. While it may have been 0-0 at half time, the game was full of drama.

Barca now have a game in hand and could move three points clear of their El Clasico rivals. Quite why they decided against sending the ball into the box with Courtois up is quite baffling. Instead, Villarreal moved up to fifth in the table just two points behind Real Sociedad in third. As for Real Madrid, their second loss of the league campaign leaves them in second behind Barcelona. The ball found its way to Arnaut Danjuma, who had teammates in support as he ran towards a completely empty Real Madrid goal. Los Blancos opted for a short corner to the edge of the box to Marco Asensio.

Then, prisoners of fear, the VAR did not tell the referee a punch from Dani Parejo on Antonio Rudiger that was clearly a red card. David Alaba slipped and touched the ball with his hand, although the replay clearly shows that he did everything he could to not touch it. In La Ceramica, the refereeing short-circuited with two calls between 68' and 71'.
