You know, some people bet based on emotion. What I mean is that people bet on Barcelona because they are fans of Barcelona and do not just consider the performance. They don’t really have anything like fear in them when betting on Barcelona. If not for the way they turned out to be, I would also be surprised, and I expected Barcelona to perform more than they did. However, that is football.

Sometimes even if a team is the strongest in the competition, they won’t always be good; sometimes they mess up things. Vallecano players are very confident in the match; they came ready because they know how strong and good the Barcelona squad is this season, so they came prepared.

Rayo Vallecano is not a weak team, as people have assumed, in fact, I expected them to win when they pressured Barcelona in the second half. They played much better than Barcelona, Vallecano had 6 shots on target compared to Barcelona's 3 and scored from a penalty, if Barcelona had not been given a penalty in the first half of the match, I wonder how they would have scored. Rayo Vallecano could have won the game, but their second goal was disallowed out due to offside.

Many people expected Barcelona to win because Vallecano lost their previous two games against Athletic Bilbo's, and Barcelona seemed to be stronger than Bilbo, so many people would bet on Barcelona to win because the bookmakers also considered them the favourite team. Any club that plays Vallecano away must be prepared to face big challenges because they are strong at home.

Very true, underestimating rayo vallecano especially ehn they have home advantage is a very dangerous game. They are known for giving big teams a tough time even though they are not consistent with their performance they are still very skillful and tactical. Barcelona did their best but it wasn't enough for them to win that game. We all expected Barcelona to win but it was disappointing that they couldnt
