In the opening of the 3rd day of La Liga, Barça achieved a stunning victory at Rayo Vallecano. Dani Olmo scored the winning goal.
Hansi Flick’s FC Barcelona continues its flawless run in the Spanish championship. With a third victory with a score of 2-1 in the bag. On the ground of Rayo Vallecano, the Catalans were behind for a long time before regaining their strength and dominating their opponents with forceps.
Dani Olmo already a scorer
Dani Olmo was the hero in this match. Eight minutes from the end of regulation time, the new recruit who had just joined the squad scored the 2-1 goal with a curling shot from the left. Coming on at half-time, the former Leipzig player had already come close to scoring when his team was behind. He made his mark with two long-range shots. The first failed just wide of the frame and the second ended up hitting the crossbar.

Before Olmo finally found the back of the net, it was Pedri who got the Blaugrana back in the game. On the hour mark, the European champion found the back of the net by turning in a Raphinha cross with his left foot. A goal that was a carbon copy of the Madrid team’s opening goal, scored in the 9th minutee minute. Unai Lopez had put the locals on the right track.
Barça makes it three
Robert Lewandowski could also have improved his stats in this game, if his goal in the 72nd minutee had not been disallowed. The Pole, who scored from close range, had seen his goal invalidated due to a foul by Jules Koundé.
In the end, and with a bit of trembling, Barça managed to pocket its third win in a row. It remains at the top of the table since all the other teams in La Liga have already given up points along the way.
