Barcelona are the only team with a perfect record after the first three matches in the league thanks to a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday night, thanks to a brilliant second half comeback led by new signing Dani Olmo who came on at halftime and scored the winner on his debut.
Barça boss Hansi Flick spoke to the press after the game and reacted to Olmo’s dream night and his team’s showing, praising their resilience as the Blaugrana earned their first victory away to Rayo in the league since 2018.
“That’s why [Dani Olmo] is on our team. The first few minutes were not good for us, we didn’t press well, we couldn’t make any combinations, but in the second half the team and Dani played a great match.
“When you look at the results from the last few years we expected a difficult match, but tonight we managed to win. In the second half we made good combinations and we got three more points, and it’s now nine out of nine.”

Flick will look to finish a perfect start to his first month in charge on Saturday as Barça welcome Real Valladolid to the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium, looking for a fourth straight win to begin the new league season.
