The match between Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano at the Camp Nou stadium is just under an hour away. He has 9 goals in 11 league games, plus two goals scored in the Europa League. The Gabonese player has secured a place in Xavi's approach and is synonymous of danger to the rival. The Colombian is an experienced player who contributes a lot to Rayo Vallecano's front line. The most recent match between Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano was played in October last year. 'El Tigre' returns to the call-up list after several weeks of muscular ailments. Will one of them get the victory? Both clubs have different purposes: the locals want the victory to stay in Champions League places while the visitors want to keep moving away from the relegation zone. It was built in September 1957 and is located in the city of Barcelona, Spain. It has a capacity for a little more than 99 thousand spectators. Barcelona looks disjointed after the goal. Final stretch of the first half. Rayo's most recent triumph at the azulgrana stadium dates back 22 years. Gavi falls inside the area.

FC Barcelona will play Rayo Vallecano on Sunday April 24 at 3 p.m. in Spain for a La Liga matchup. Here's how to stream the game.

Where can I watch it on TV? - Sunday’s match will start at 3:00 p.m. ET for viewers in the U.S. However, the match will not be broadcast on conventional TV channels for American audiences. Right now we have not completely grasped the magnitude of this experience.” Barcelona is seeking to repeat its treble from last season. The 91,648 spectators counted by club officials surpassed the 91,553 who turned out to see Barcelona beat Real Madrid last month. Barcelona is coming off of a win in Thurday’s matchup against Real Sociedad and have won their last seven home games against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga.

Barcelona boss Xavi admitted that the club has dipped in form from its spectacular showings in February and March, but there's still a Champions League spot ...

Unlike the opponents, Rayo Vallecano is a relatively healthy side for this late in the season. For the second straight match, Radamel Falcao is on the bench, and could be a substitute option. 22nd min: Rayo is now sitting deep after scoring the opener, and Barcelona has absolutely nothing in the attack. Dembele then nearly finds Aubameyang but the cross is just a smidge too high for the Gabonese international to get good contact with his head. 60 mins before kick: Lineups are in, and there's a surprise for Barcelona as Ronald Arajuo, who came off injured just days ago, is fit enough to start. On a goal kick Dimitrievski plays it short to Nikola Maras whose heavy touch allows Aubameyang to charge it down right on the doorstep of the goal mouth. The change from Dest to Garcia is a defensive one, and now Dembele has very little support on the right flank. The young midfielder, understandably, is incensed with the call and with his opponent, and he has words for Lopez who yells back. Rayo hasn't had anything forward since the goal, as the game's been played almost entirely in the Rayo half. Unai Lopez throws a shoulder into Gavi marshaling the ball out of play, and Gavi is hilariously called for the foul. The game has grinded to a halt. Still, it would take quite the collapse for the club to be sent down at this point, holding a decent gap with three of their final fixtures this season coming against teams below them in the table.

Following their hard-fought win against Real Sociedad away from home, Barcelona face off against Rayo Vallecano at Camp Nou in Matchweek 34 of the 2021/22 ...

No changes have been made in the middle of the park as Xavi has stuck with the trio of Gavi, Sergio Busquets, and Frenkie de Jong. It means that Nico Gonzalez is once again left out on the bench. And manager Xavi Hernandez has made two changes to the lineup that took the field at the Reale Arena for Sunday’s game as he looks to help the Catalans tighten their grip on the second spot in the standings. Marc-Andre ter Stegen continues in goal as is the norm for Barça. Gerard Pique has been replaced in the lineup is Eric Garcia possibly as a precaution after he picked up a knock against Real Sociedad last time out.

7' - GOAL! BARCELONA 0-1 RAYO VALLECANO (ALVARO GARCIA): Oh wow, Rayo are ahead! For the third consecutive home game, Barca concede first! Palazon is the ...

The loose ball drops to Gavi, who creates the space for a shot. 42' - OFF THE CROSSBAR! Rayo fail to clear from a corner. There was plenty of time for Barcelona to recover, of course, but they struggled to click, a distinct lack of firepower in attack evident as they failed to create a clear cut chance until the dying stages. What was perhaps most concerning for Xavi was the number of times his side conceded possession in midfield, with Frenkie De Jong, in particular, guilty of sloppy passing. For the third consecutive home game, Barca concede first! Xavi rang the changes, operating with four strikers on the pitch in a desperate bid to drawl level.

It's a letoff for Barcelona as Rayo could have made the inevitable look much worse. Moments later, Gavi yanks down a Rayo attacker who was free on goal just past the halfway line, and is lucky only to receive yellow for what probably should have been a clear last-man foul. The hosts were baffled for much of the match by the heroic Rayo defending and goalkeeping, with precious few chances to equalize throughout the match. Even a point here would have been celebrated, but a road win at the Camp Nou to complete the season double over Barcelona is what dreams are made of.

Barcelona were condemned to a third successive home defeat as Alvaro Garcia's ...

CM: Gavi - 6/10 - Unfortunate with his effort which struck the bar in the first half. Looked frustrated to be withdrawn before the hour mark. Improved when Xavi moved to a back three and he could punch passes through the lines on his stronger foot. However, Alba was expertly placed to block the effort from five yards out. The crossbar was then left shaking as Barcelona searched for an equaliser before the interval. The winger was found by Isi Palazon and, with just Marc-Andre ter Stegen to beat, he controlled and steered a lovely rifled finish beyond the Barcelona No.1.

Xavi was frustrated too and when he felt Gavi should have been awarded a penalty in a clash with Alejandro Catena and the coach was booked. ‘There are games that get complicated because we don't start as we should,’ said Xavi. ‘If you take the lead then you have everything under control. When it dropped to Frenkie de Jong he played it to Dembele and he crossed for Aubameyang who couldn’t finish. Gavi and Dembele had at least ruffled a few Rayo feathers. Rayo got the winner on seven minutes when Alvaro Garcia made a diagonal run from the left wing to centre forward position. But as Gerard Pique said earlier in the season: we could have played for three hours without scoring.
