Actually Barcelona dominated the game when the first half began. And several times they created chances through Rapinha and Lamine Yamal, although they did not really threaten Rayo Vallecano's goal. Until the 40th minute Barcelona finally got a chance to score through a penalty kick. And Luckily Yamal managed to convert it, bringing the score to 0-1 against Rayo Vallecano. In the second half, Rayo Vallecano seemed to dominate the game. They threatened Barcelona's defense and even their keeper several times through Pedro Diaz, Alvaro Garcia, and Andrei Ratiu. In the end, Rayo Vallecano managed to hold Barcelona to a 1-1 draw through a goal from Fran Perez. The score remained until the end of the match. So I think Rayo Vallecano successfully read Barcelona's movements or even their tactics in the first half. This allowed them to dominate the second half with high intensity and equalize the score. Rayo Vallecano even scored another goal. But unfortunately, it was disallowed due to an offside by one of their players.

For me, the penalty that was awarded to Barcelona was controversial because the contact between Pep Chavarria and Lamine Yamal was not much. I think both of them had an equal impact on each other. Barca got that goal because the VAR was not functioning. Rayo Vallecano gave the defending champions a good fight and if not for Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia, they would have scored more.

Girona has already conceded 10 goals, ouch

And the Blanquivermells have scored just one goal, too poor. It shows that the club is totally in a bad shape. The club's manager, Míchel, would have to turn things around or risk being sacked. They managed to escape relegation last season and this season might be worse.
