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.


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.
