99'FT; Rayo 1-0 Barca!! All over in Madrid and Rayo win thanks to Falcao's 30th minute goal.

45'HT: Rayo 1-0 Barca!! No added time and half-time in Madrid! A Falcao goal after a Busquets mistake with 30 minutes on the clock is the difference so far. The game has been reasonably even with Barca having a bit more ball, but they lack the cutting edge going forward. Dest has had the clearest opportunity for Barca by a distance. A draw would probably be fair. Back for more shortly!

43'Catena commits a foul as Barca continue to attack without really threatening Dimitrievski.
-
41'Alvaro Garcia goes for goal and he hits one over the goal!
-
39'Barca press as Nico sees his shot blocked! Lots of attacking, but no finishing for Koeman's men. It's the same problem as the one on Sunday.
-
36'Dest!!! Depay gets the ball and makes a lovely turn past Balliu and his pass is turned over the bar from close range! He should've definitely hit the target.
-
34'Rayo attack again and the ball goes over the bar!
Goaaaaaal!
