[Menna]

A chaotic game where VAR failed, Barça dropped points, and Joan Garcia kept them alive.

Barcelona struck first:
Lamine Yamal converted a controversial penalty in the 40th minute.
The twist? VAR was down due to technical issues, so the decision couldn’t be reviewed.

️ Rayo fought back.
Fran Pérez smashed home a volley from a corner in the 67th minute to level the score. The stadium erupted.

Hero of the night? Joan Garcia.

For Barcelona:
7 points from 3 games.
Questions over their defense & reliance on VAR decisions.

For Rayo:
A deserved point.
Showed grit, pressing & creativity against the champions.

Takeaway:
Barcelona escaped Vallecas with a draw, but this performance raises alarms.

Rayo Vallecano have always been a bogey team for Barcelona, and they proved it again today.
Real Madrid were the biggest beneficiaries of this result, a two point lead heading into the international break

A very interesting game, and Barca would have lost if not for Joan Garcia in goal.

Well, it's still early days, but two dropped points might decide who wins the title at the end of the season.
Barcelona weren't convincing today, Rayo were the side.

I agree. Barcelona played poorly today, Joan Garcia was their hero tonight.

I agree. Barcelona played poorly today, Joan Garcia was their hero tonight.

After what they achieved last season, complacency must have set in

Barcelona don't look like the team that dominated La Liga last season, and I'm sure Real Madrid will be looking to snatch the title from them this season
