Real Madrid also lacks sharpness up front, so their attack won't be lethal enough unless they make significant changes to their attack and midfield in the upcoming match. And regarding Rayo, I also saw many opportunities that didn't translate into goals in the match against Barcelona, so the draw was actually due to Rayo not fully capitalizing on their opportunities. Therefore, Barcelona will definitely improve on this in the upcoming match to get back to winning and close the gap to other teams.
A very unexpected draw, maybe because Barcelona won the first half and thought they could bring this match to victory, but in the second half they played much worse and couldn’t make a single shot on target. Maybe considering how Rayo Vallecano played, they deserved this draw, but despite that, they ruined my bet, so this draw was unpleasant for me. And now Real are already ahead of them by 2 points, while everyone was praising Barcelona and doubting how good Real actually are with Alonso.
I was a bit busy and ignored the late game thinking it would be an easy win for Barcelona but Rayo Vallecano stopped them on a 1-1 draw. Not only Barcelona failed to win, the game too was competitive one and Rayo Vallecano never seemed a weaker team. They indeed are a strong team with a good results in last season too but I thought Barcelona would be a lot stronger. This loss has enabled Real Madrid to occupy the top spot. It's still early to say but Real Madrid looks much more confident than Barcelona this season.
