New-look Barcelona frustrated by Rayo Vallecano in season opener
Barcelona were held 0-0 by Rayo Vallecano in their opening game of the La Liga season and had captain Sergio Busquets sent off late on. The Catalans had 21 shots on goal and the majority of possession at the Camp Nou but were unable to break the deadlock. Barca boss Xavi started close-season signings including defender Andreas Christensen, winger Raphinha and striker Robert Lewandowski, who were only able to feature after being registered with the league late on Friday.
