Barcelona managed to end the first half with a 0-1 lead after Lamine Yamal converted a penalty, but the second half proved to be a difficult one. The players struggled to penetrate Rayo Vallecano's defense throughout the second half, preventing Barcelona from maintaining their lead. Several mistakes allowed Rayo Vallecano to come back and equalize, so things were a bit more complicated for Barcelona.
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.
This season is a season to pay attention to I almost all the leagues because Barcelona that everyone thinks they will do more than they did last week due to the players they added and they still drop two points.
Rayo Vallecano did very well today, they pressured Barcelona to the extent of getting a goal to level the score and managed to end the match in a draw. Real Madrid fans will be very happy with this outcome because they have taken the lead of the Laliga table with nine points leaving Barcelona in the fourth position with seven points.
More to watch out in this Laliga, Hamsi Flick needs to improve on his tactics and to also bring back the offside tactics because it helped them last season.
Vallecano are always good with pressurizing Barcelona, this has happened a lot of times in their previous encounters...the competition is very tight, the first , second and third position have the same point, barcelona might get dusted very soon if they don't sit tight...But personally I don't really see any team that can just win Barcelona easily asides from real Madrid but at the end of the day anything can happen
