Barcelona win first La Liga match with a scoreline 5-0 against Villareal sides.

Cesc Fabregas, Andres Iniesta Seidou Keita and Thiago Alcantara in midfield and Lionel Messi accompanied with Pedro and Alexis Sanchez at top. This is as response to injuries of Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol.
In this formation, Guardiola put 9 midfielders in the team as the tactic to control possession as usual. Redknapp wrote in his column for the Daily Mail: "I looked at the Barcelona team sheet on Monday night and thought: 'How will they play . . . and where are the defenders?' They played nine midfielders in their team against Villarreal and won 5-0. Nine midfielders!
Barcelona's director of football, Andoni Zubizarreta has already outmined the club's intention to win every trophy they play this season.
