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.
Matches between Rayo Vallecano and Barcelona are always interesting for me, especially because we truly see the natural tension between the two teams. Rayo are strong in defense and often trouble Barcelona's attackers. They are also very quick on the counter-attack, often leading to comebacks. Barcelona struggled in the second half with Rayo Vallecano's defensive tactics and quick counterattack, but fortunately, Barcelona only managed a draw instead of a loss.
Rayo Vallecano almost snatched a home win had several goals not been disallowed for offside, but it was tactics that saved Barcelona today's defeat alongside Joan García's excellent performance as a goalkeeper and the performance of his defenders.
