Matchday three against Vallecano began the hard way for Hansi Flick’s Barcelona as La Blaugrana found themselves behind in the opening 10 minutes of the match. Rayo Vallecano’s Jorge de Frutos’ cutback was put behind the net by Unai Lopez who gave the hosts an early lead against visitors Barcelona.
Flick introduced Dani Olmo at halftime and minutes later Barcelona found an equaliser after good play from Raphinha to give Pedri his first goal of the season. Olmo scored Barcelona’s winning goal after being set up by Lamine Yamal.
