In this match I also bet on Barcelona's victory, but after seeing Barcelona's game in the first half, I had to accept the fact that my bet lost. The first half of Barcelona's game was very bad, their defense was very weak.
With a goal behind, of course every Rayo Vallecano player will take advantage of the time. They will try hard to play disciplined in the second half, and Rayo's defense in the first half was very solid, they were disruptive and successful. Which made Pedri, Torres, and Lewandowski unable to do much in the first half. Flick must make important changes in the second half, otherwise Barcelona may not win this match.
Barcelona in the second half must try to slow down the game a little. Because Rayo's defense is very tight, especially in midfield. That way they can try to pull Rayo's block. Because Barcelona's game in the first half was too direct, making their game chaotic.
Not everything is so bad, Barcelona's defense is good, but it is difficult to play without mistakes, but Rayo Valcano's defense systematically has very significant failures, and if Lewandowski had not rushed, Barcelona could already be ahead. 65th minute 1:1 and Barcelona has enough time to achieve victory, but I see that they have rebuilt and it seems that they are going to play with 5 defenders, it is obvious that they will try to keep the score tied.
Barcelona from the beginning playing well and their defence if good. And Rayo Vallecano is also trying their effort to make sure that they win the game. Now that it is only it is only 13 minutes are left, which is the hot period of a football game, we will know who win the game. Rayo Vallecano defence is also good so let's watch out.
