Rayo Vallecano dedicates the knot.. Barcelona loses and fails to win the La Liga title | sports

Rayo Vallecano continued to dedicate its contract to its guest Barcelona in the Spanish Football League, after defeating it 2-1 in the 31st stage of the competition.

The Barcelona stars appeared very dull in the match that was held at the “Teresa Rivero” stadium, as they seemed reassured that the Catalan team would win the championship title this season after an absence of 3 seasons, in light of the vast difference in points that separates it from its closest rivals, its arch-rivals Real Madrid.

On the other hand, the Vallecano players took advantage of the support of the ground workers and the public in the best way, as it made the difference in their favor despite the lack of experience of its players compared to the stars of the guest team who seemed like ghosts on the field to suffer a well-deserved loss.

Alvaro Garcia opened the scoring for Rayo Vallecano in the 19th minute, before his colleague Fran Garcia added the second goal in the 53rd minute, while veteran Polish star Robert Lewandowski ensured Barcelona’s only goal in the 83rd minute.

And for the fourth consecutive match, Barcelona continued its inability to achieve any victory in the competition over Vallecano, who achieved its third victory over coach Xavi Hernandez’s team, in exchange for a single draw during that series.

Barcelona’s last victory over Vallecano dates back to January 27, 2021, when it won 2-1 over its rival in the same stadium in the league championship.

Despite the defeat, Barcelona – who suffered its third loss in the championship this season – remained at the top with 76 points, but kept the 11-point difference separating it from the second-place Real Madrid, which suffered a resounding defeat 2-4 against its host Girona yesterday, Tuesday, at the same stage. .

On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano – who achieved its 11th victory in the competition this season and the second during its last three meetings in the championship – rose to 43 points, advancing to ninth place.
