Barcelona Held 0-0 by Rayo Vallecano on Lewandowski’s Debut | Watch Highlights

Despite dominating most of the major statistical categories of the match against Rayo Vallecano, Barcelona still settled for a goalless draw in their LaLiga Santander opener on Saturday.

After a summer transfer market that saw several big names join Barcelona, Xavi handed league debuts to Andreas Christensen, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha.

Unfortunately for the over 80,000 Blaugrana fans in attendance at the Camp Nou, the new era began with a bit of sputter thanks in large part to Stole Dimitrievski, who was instrumental in helping Rayo head back to Madrid with a point in hand.

Lewandowski thought he had opened up his account for the Blaugrana in the 12th minute after a lovely dink, only for the referee to blow the play dad for offside.

Some jeers could be heard as the final minutes played out, with Sergio Busquets adding to the disappointing evening for Barcelona by picking up a second yellow in injury time.
