Alexis Sánchez is starting to hit all the right notes at the end of the season, and he even seems to be doing better than David Villa, who's been making the most of the opportunities Tito has given him, until recent games, that is, when he seems to have run out of steam.

'El Guaje' has scored more goals than the Chilean over the season, but Alexis seems to be in better form at the moment.

Last Sunday's game was a clear example of this, when both forwards picked up a goal but the man from Asturias managed to miss three great opportunities and was substituted when he did finally manage to get one past the Betis keeper, Adrián. When Villa was taken off he almost looked dejected. Alexis, on the other hand, who opened the scoring for the 'Azulgranas' (after 9 minutes) and set up Messi for the team's fourth, looked much more upbeat. The Chilean also managed to bag a goal in his side's previous league outing against Athletic.

Despite his despondent appearance, the Camp Nou gave Villa an ovation when he was taken off, showing that the fans really appreciate the effort he's put in over his three years with the team. However, the player has been criticised by several analysts, who believe that he is yet to recover the type of form he was in prior to his injury at the Club World Cup, when he broke his tibia and fibula.
