It looks like this could have been in the coaches' plans since the beginning. Keep Villa fit, uninjured and healthy the whole first half, unleash him in the 2nd half. Slowly getting him more and more fit throughout the season while keeping him safe and also warming up the other forwards.
If that was the plan, it's turning out very nicely right now.
Either way, this is so beautiful to watch.
He and Messi have upped our attack power IMMENSELY from where it was at the beginning of the season.
Messi + Villa hitting beastmode at the same time = unstoppable.
