Video: Villarreal 2-2 Barcelona – Arda Turan win streak comes to an end

Barcelona team news

Barcelona extended their unbeaten streak to a record 39 games following their 2-2 draw against Villarreal at the El Madrigal.

Despite extending their unbeaten run Barca will be a tad disappointed considering they took an early two goal lead.

Ivan Rakitic scored his fifth league goal of the season early on before Neymar doubled the lead from the penalty spot.

The turning point of the game came after head coach Luis Enrique took off Gerard Pique and Arda Turan early in the second half.

Barca struggled to stay organised afterwards with former Bursaspor striker Cedric Bakambu pulling one back before Jeremy Mathieu scored an own goal.

The draw also marked the end of Turan’s 16 match win streak in games he has appeared in for Barcelona this season.
