Rayo shocks Barca at Camp Nou

An early goal from the visitors was enough to secure the three points in Sunday's La Liga clash


Barcelona suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.


Alvaro Garcia's goal just seven minutes into the league clash at Camp Nou was enough to give the visitors the three points.

It is the second time in a week that Xavi's side have been beaten on home soil, as they were beaten by Cadiz on Monday. Having also been beaten by Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League, they have now lost three in a row at home.


The match had a controversial ending as Barcelona appealed for a penalty when Alejandro Catena brought down Gavi.

However, the referee ignored their cries and there was no intervention from VAR.
