    Rossi is up top today for Villarreal. The game is on GolTV.

    Villarreal looking the better team, especially with Barca not playing some key players...

    Wet surface -- Henry wincing in pain after cutting back.

    Villarreal has had a few chances, but while this match is technically nice, it isn't very entertaining or creating opportunities.

    Yellow for Capdevila -- he turned on a cross, which caught him in the arm. No need for a card.

    Took until the 75th minute for Villarreal to get a second-half shot...

    Messi tries to hand-of-God it and rightfully gets a yellow...

    Nihat with a wicked direct kick that is pushed out for a corner...game over. Zzz.

    Barcelona have the advantage on the vuelta at home...

    So how'd Rossi look? I read Valdez had a nice stop on Rossi. Is that correct?

    Does he look like he has regained his fitness?

    Last time I saw him (when he hit the crossbar with a great freekick a few weeks back) he looked pretty sharp, but not as involved as he was before he hurt his knee, which I am guessing is a bit fitness related.

    He was sharp, and Hudson thought he should've capitalized a bit more. Overall it was a good game by Villarreal but chances couldn't be created.

    I saw some good moments from him and I wasn't watching very closely. He definitley was one of the standouts.
