Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Geyoro, Karchaoui and Périsset’s “Little Sister” interview!
Despite their new signings, Barca failed to start with a win. The Blaugranas conceded the draw at home against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday evening.
In a meeting with relatively few chances, Xavi’s players still dominated (68% possession) but could not find the fault despite 21 shots to 2. The Catalans only targeted 6 of their shots, which is too little to hope to deceive the Madrid goalkeeper. With in particular Christensen, Raphinha and Lewandowski holders, Barça has displayed a new face but which lacks playing time together to be able to create something coherent. Franck Kessié also came into play in the 73rd minute but could not change things. It will take time for this Barca to set themselves up and teach all the players to be on the pitch.
The Blaugranas finished the match 10 against 11 after Sergio Busquets was sent off for a second yellow card after an elbow to Falcao in stoppage time.
Also note the presence of Frenkie de Jong who entered the game in the 61st while he has been pushed out for several weeks now.
to summarize
FC Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano left with the score of 0-0 for the first day of La Liga. Despite the presence of several new signings, the Blaugranas seemed too disorganized to win this Saturday.
