WATCH: Barcelona pressure pays off as Pedri nets equaliser against Rayo Vallecano

It was a disappointing opening 45 minutes for Barcelona at Vallecas, as Rayo Vallecano led at the half time interval. However, they have now managed to find an equaliser in the second period.

Unai Lopez scored the opener for Rayo, who were excellent in the early stages. However, it’s been all-Barcelona in the second half, and they’ve mustered their reward by finding the leveller. It’s come from Pedri, who linked up well with Raphinha before finishing.

Dani Olmo was brought on by Hansi Flick at half time for his Barcelona debut, and his introduction has certainly helped the Catalans finally stamp their authority on this match.

Barcelona have a dismal recent record at Vallecas, having failed to win away to Rayo in the last three years. They will fancy themselves to go on to score further goals here, as they go in search of continuing their 100% record at the start of the new season.
