Dani Olmo's Late Goal Secures Barcelona's Comeback Win Over Rayo Vallecano

Posted : 28 August 2024

Barcelona secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday, thanks to Dani Olmo's decisive 82nd-minute goal. This win marks Barcelona's third consecutive triumph of the season under new coach Hansi Flick, maintaining their perfect start in LaLiga. Olmo's introduction as a substitute proved pivotal, having joined from RB Leipzig and only been registered with La Liga earlier in the day.

 

Rayo Vallecano took the lead in the first half with a goal from Unai Lopez, who capitalized on a strong run and cross from Jorge De Frutos. Barcelona struggled to find their rhythm in the opening period, with only occasional sparks from teenager Lamine Yamal. At halftime, Flick made a tactical change, bringing on Olmo for Ferran Torres, which rejuvenated the team.

 

Olmo, taking up a central attacking midfield role, quickly made an impact. His presence helped Barcelona increase their attacking threat, with Polish forward Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha both coming close to scoring. Olmo's powerful 30-yard drive hit the crossbar, but the pressure eventually paid off when Pedri equalized on the hour mark, finishing off a well-worked move with Raphinha.

 

In the final moments of the match, Barcelona's joy was tempered by an injury to 17-year-old Marc Bernal, who twisted his knee and was substituted. Flick expressed concern over Bernal's condition, noting the somber mood in the dressing room despite the victory. Meanwhile, Rayo Vallecano, celebrating their centenary, had also recently signed James Rodriguez, who watched from the stands as his new team put up a strong performance.
