There was no feasible contact on Lamine Yamal by Pep Chavarría and the penalty wouldn't have stood if the VAR was working. But the game showed the weakness of Barcelona's defence. Rayo Vallecano counter counterattacks were always effective because the visitors' defenders found it difficult to curtail the pace of Rayo Vallecano players. The host would have scored more goals if it had a clinical striker. Although the Barca goalkeeper Joan García, who won the Most Valuable Player, played a big role in why the goal didn't come as much as the chances created.

Fran Perez's 67th-minute goal was enough to give them a point against the defending champions. Yamal should also be blamed for that goal because he was close to an unmarked Fran and did nothing. Maybe he was upfront because of an imminent counterattack, who knows? This season is becoming interesting.

Perfect analyses. Match officials and Var are also too incompetent, so I don't go moaning when they blow or call what they should have done. I want to give Joan Garcia his props, he was responsible for the draw otherwise, that game should have seen Rayo Vallecano stealing all three points. Laughable player on that pitch was Marcus Rashford, he has to work hard otherwise, he'll never be signed up completely.

Marcus Rashford's performance remains very disappointing, and I don't think he'll improve. Since the beginning of the preseason, Marcus Rashford's performance has been the same, and he hasn't been able to make a difference in contributing to the team.

This draw seems fair considering the performances of both teams. I don't think Barcelona played at their best, despite the disappointing incidents and drama. However, I don't see that as a separate perspective. Barcelona's overall performance, along with Rayo Vallecano's performance at home, is also worthy of praise. They played with confidence and were impressive, and I think a draw was enough for them against a top team like Barcelona.
