Barcelona struggled to withstand the rapid pressure from Rayo Vallecano's attacks from all sides. This is clearly a problem Hansi Flick must address before the end of the match. Barcelona seemed to struggle to outwit the opposing defense and tended to give the ball away easily, but there's still room for improvement.
Barcelona is not playing badly. But, Rayo Vallecano players are playing just great. The players are very confident. Although the opponent is strong, the Vallecano players do not care about Barcelona. Vallecano scored their second goal in the 85th minute of the match. However, the goal was disallowed due to offside. Barcelona is undoubtedly very lucky. In the 88th minute, the match is still 1-1. However, both are trying to win. So it is not yet possible to say what the result of the match will be. Because in the previous match, we saw that Barcelona scored after 90 minutes and won against Levante. Even in the first match, Barcelona scored a goal after 90 minutes. So I am waiting to see another goal.
The match ended 1-1. But I agree with you that we had a great match. Both teams were very active and attacked a lot. I am a little sad that Barcelona could not win the match. But I have to admit that Vallecano played very well.
But what caught my attention in this match was the performance of Joan Garcia. Barcelona bought a gem this season by spending 25 million. If ter Stegen had been the goalkeeper of Barcelona in this match instead of Garcia, I am sure that Barcelona would have lost this match 3-1. Every attack made by Rayo was very sharp. Garcia made 6 saves in this match.
