The night was low, the lights were on, and at 1:00 a.m. on October 28th, an exciting La Liga showdown was quietly staged away from Barcelona. It was the 11th round of the 2021-22 season, when Barcelona faced Rayo Vallecano away from home.
Starting the match was Barcelona's elite lineup: goalkeeper Ter Stegen, Dexter, Pique, Erick Garcia, and Alba at the back, central midfielders Busquets, Roberto, and Nico Gonzalez, and Coutinho, Depay, and leader Aguero up front.
The power players on the bench are also not to be underestimated: Neto, Peña, Pudji, Demir, Langrée, De Jong, Mingheza, Umtiti, Gavi and Balde, who are always ready to add to the team's dynamism.
And facing Barcelona is Rayo Vallecano's starting lineup: Stor Dimitrevski, Caterina, Ivan Bariou, Esteban Savdžić, Fran García, Óscar Valentín, Santi Comesaña, Óscar Trejo, Falcao, Aysa Parazán and Álvaro García.
Vallecano's bench features Luca Zidane, Nicolas Marasch, Mario Suarez, Randy Ntteka, Bebe, Andres Martín, Unai López, Sergi Guardiola, Kevin Rodríguez, Bermudez Cis, José Pozo and Mario Hernández, with each player potentially being the key to a turnaround.
