Barcelona looked like a shell of their 2024–25 selves in their visit to Rayo Vallecano barely hanging on in a 1–1 draw.
Hansi Flick’s side took the lead through a Lamine Yamal penalty-kick late in the first half. It was all Rayo Vallecano after that. The hosts overwhelmed Barcelona in the second half and eventually found the equalizer with a stellar volley from Fran Pérez.
