Barcelona faced Rayo Vallecano in the first round of La Liga. The team led by Xavi disappointed and was unable to beat the lower-ranked opponent. Eventually the match ended in a goalless draw.
We got to know the team for the next Barcelona game. Depay and Aubameyang with vocations
Already on Sunday at 22:00, Barcelona will have the opportunity to win the first game this season. In the second round, the Catalan club will face Real Sociedad, who beat Cadiz 1-0 in the previous series of matches. Less than 12 hours before the first whistle, Xavi called the players for the match. The squad lacks Sergino Desta, who is recovering from an injury, and the still unregistered Jules Kounde. Interestingly, the squad unexpectedly includes Memphis Depay and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who are close to leaving the team. The Dutchman is due to go to Juventus, while the Gabonese striker is being linked to a transfer to Chelsea.
Apart from that, the Barcelona squad is not surprising and their best players, such as Robert Lewandowski and Pedri, have been called up. You can be sure that Xavi will field the strongest squad possible and the team will do whatever it takes to return home with three points.
