Last season's champions (Barcelona) were held to a draw by Rayo. This was certainly far from my prediction. I assumed Barcelona would win against Rayo, as their squads were clearly the best, boasting many star players. In today's bet, I bet on a Barcelona win because I saw Barcelona as the strongest. Unfortunately, my guess was wrong, and the match between Rayo and Barcelona ended in a draw.

As the home team, Rayo certainly played well, attacking Barcelona well. If I'm not mistaken, they scored numerous goals. Unfortunately, the referee only awarded one goal in this match. If all of Rayo's goals had been awarded, Rayo would have had the potential to win against Barcelona. If Yamal hadn't scored on penalties, it seemed certain Barcelona would have lost to Rayo. Fortunately, Yamal scored on a penalty kick.

Now, Hansi Flick must really improve Barcelona's game so that the Barcelona players can capitalize on the opportunities that arise.
What a performance by Rayo Vallecano, it been so long a Laliga team perform this way against Barcelona, from the blast of the whistle till the end of the match Rayo gave everything to win this match, just like you said if it was another refree Barcelona would have lost this match. Barcelona big chance came when they were awarded a penalty and Lamine yamal was able to convert from the spot. After conceding against the best team in the league most team would look very much clueless but this Rayo vallecano maintained their game plan.

For sure most people gambled on Barcelona to win, I also gambled on this match but I picked 3 or more goals to be scored but on 2 goals was scored. I lost my bet also and honestly I never expected this performance from the home side. Flick needs to improve this team like you said because everyone playing Barcelona now will want to emulate what Rayo just did. Above all it a good game and now Barcelona have fallen off as leader of the league as Real Madrid are now the league leaders after match day 3.
