So far it’s 1-0, but to be honest Rayo have looked sharp in attack tonight. If not for Barcelona’s defense, they’d probably be leading by at least two goals…they’ve really tried.
Barcelona’s wingers & the striker, on the other hand, have made some silly mistakes with most of the chances they had in the first 45 minutes. I’m sure Flick will bring in some replacements for the second half.
Rayo Vallecano are very confident in their home match today. The team is attacking a lot. And playing very ably. If Barcelona's defense and goalkeeping were a little weaker, Vallecano could have broken Barcelona's defense. Barca goalkeeper Joan Garcia made several serious saves. At the same time , Barcelona's defenders are also playing great. So despite attacking quickly, Rayo vallecano is not able to score.
Barcelona is also not playing defensively. The players are very aggressive. We can see a lot of attacks from both teams. This is an intense and exciting match. Yamal scored a goal from a penalty in the first half. Barcelona's players continued to try to score in the second half. As both teams are playing aggressively , there is a possibility of seeing more goals in this match.
Consider that Rayo Vallecano was very confident and attacked Barcelona's goal much more and had more accurate shots. Perhaps if Rayo Vallecano had been a little luckier, they would have gotten three points from Barcelona instead of just one. Barcelona's defense is very poor, and Barcelona's defenders constantly make mistakes when going forward.
It was an intense match; more goals could have been scored. Both teams attacked intensely and defended without defending.
