Barcelona could not win this match. But there is no denying that Rayo vallecano played great. I was just surprised by their performance. Despite Barcelona being a strong team, Vallecano players were able to play very well. And due to such a great performance of Vallecano, Barcelona was under a lot of pressure. And in the end , Barcelona had to be happy with 1 point. If lewandowski had been in the starting XI, maybe Barcelona would not have missed easy chances and would have been able to score a few more goals. There are several weaknesses in Barcelona's overall performance that are visible. They need to play better if they want to dominate La Liga.
Lewandowski misses a lot of scoring opportunities so I don't think his presence would have made a difference. It's a shame Rayo converted their chances poorly, Barcelona actually gained 1 point here instead of losing 2.
But what surprises me is that the bookmakers did not react to this loss of points (although Real took their 3) and despite the fact that Barcelona is lagging behind, it is still considered the favorite in the title race with odds of 1.83.
