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.
Both teams played impressively, but I have to say that Rayo Vallecano gave Barcelona a tough match because they outperformed them, which I didn't expect it to be so challenging for Barcelona. The match ended 1-1, showing the competitive spirit of both teams. Raphinha and Dani Olmo had a tough game today, with Raphinha performance being particularly disappointing due to some selfish decision making. If he had played better, Barcelona might have scored early and possibly exposed Rayo Vallecano's weaknesses. But that's football you can't win in every game. Christensen contributed to Barcelona strong defense, and Joan Garcia made excellent saves that prevented barcelona from conceding.
