Great start of the season for Barcelona!
I expected Mallorca to score a goal in front of home crowd, but two red cards in first half made that impossible.
Barca could easily scored a few more goals in this match.
Solid opening game. Nothing fancy, but it's not needed at this part of season. Offcourse, I expected that they will score few more goals when Mallorca was with 9 players for such big part of game.
I knew Girona was poor, last season was a display far away from the previous. But letting Rayo go rampaging in the first half spells a Girona that I somehow even managed to overestimate. And no, even before the red card, the stats showed 11 shots from Rayo and 0 from Girona. And not a single one of us foresaw this either, a draw was the worst a handful of us predicted. What a way to start the season eh? 0 points for everyone, Girona are shite.
I don't really know why I backed Girona in this game. It looks that they will have to fight to avoid relegation this season. While Rayo looks great, I see them fighting for spots in Europe again.
