Well, in theory, the bookmakers had predicted that Barcelona would win, even though Rayo Vallecano is difficult to beat at home, we are talking about a notable difference between the two teams in terms of player strength and coach strategies, it seems to me that Barcelona is not in such good shape.
Not only the bookies, majority of gamblers believed that Barcelona would win Rayo and they lost their bet. This is the reason why no team should be underestimated because no one can predict the future. I couldn't believe that Barcelona almost lost that game. Rayo has poor finishing and couldn't score more goals. A lot of work needs to be done in Barcelona defense because it looks porous to me.
There are many surprises in football and this is one of them and it must be admitted that Rayo Vallecano is a strong team when playing at home but if we measure the strength of both teams it is clear that this is a big surprise that happened at the beginning of the La Liga season this season although we should not be too excessive because on the one hand I see Barcelona as if they were unlucky so they could not bring out their best performance so I will not also respond to Barcelona's performance because in my opinion from this one match cannot be used as a reference for anything.

All teams should never be underestimated, anyone who does so is simply a chicken and deserves to be defeated, Barcelona is currently a very strong team and knows it but does not take into account the strength of the opponents and if you underestimate them in the end you lose or draw which is not good for a club of that kind.
