Match Preview

A high-stakes clash at the top of La Liga awaits as Barcelona prepares to host Villarreal at the Spotify Camp Nou this Saturday. With the title race tightening, Hansi Flick’s side is looking to extend its lead, while the Yellow Submarine aims to cement its status as Champions League contenders.
Barcelona currently sits at the summit of La Liga with 61 points, just one point ahead of Real Madrid. After a brief wobble earlier this month with losses to Atlético Madrid and Girona, they bounced back with a dominant 3-0 win over Levante. A victory here would temporarily move them four points clear, putting immense pressure on Madrid.
Villarreal is enjoying a stellar season under Marcelino, currently sitting in 3rd place with 51 points. While the title might be a reach (10 points back), they are comfortably three points ahead of Atlético Madrid in the race for the top four. They enter this match fresh off a 2-1 victory over Valencia and have a habit of making life miserable for Barça at the Camp Nou.

How to watch on the Big Screen
Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:
- Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
- Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
