Continuation and end of the 8th day of La Liga, Villarreal welcomed the Las Palmas club to Castellón, on the pitch of the Cerámica stadium. A match largely dominated by the locals who scared themselves despite the victory (3-1). Indeed, with the opening score of Nicolas Pépé (45th), the Groguets were able to return to the locker room with a smile at the break. Unfortunately, Fábio Silva, efficient and realistic, was able to quickly equalize in the second half (47th). And while Álex Baena missed a penalty (51st), it was Thierno Barry who was able to deliver the victory (85th). Álex Baena scored his goal in the last seconds (3-1).

In the standings, Villarreal temporarily climbs onto the podium in 3rd place, while Las Palmas continues its fall into the red zone with this worrying 20th and final position. Next weekend, the Groguets will go to the Spanish capital to face Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, while the Pío-pío will play at home against Celta de Vigo, on the 9th day of the Spanish championship.
