While this 3rd day of the Spanish Championship is not yet over, FC Barcelona is certain to take the lead, alone, in La Liga, with a clean sweep, after its victory snatched from Rayo Vallecano (2-1), this Tuesday evening. This is the third success by the same score for the Blaugrana and this one owes a lot to its recruit, Dani Olmo, who left RB Leipzig two weeks ago to commit to the Catalan club until 2030, for 60 million euros.
Substitute at kick-off, his entry into play (in place of Ferran Torres) for the second half changed everything. Positioned in the heart of the game, he pushed Raphinha on the left side, and it was from his corridor that the Brazilian served Pedri back for the equalizer (60th). Because Barça were logically behind, on a goal from Unai Lopez (10th).
A crossbar and a goal disallowed for Barça
And the Spanish international took care of the rest for his first minutes in his new colours. After an attempt on the top of the crossbar (59th), he scored the winning goal with a cross shot, well served in the area by Lamine Yamal (82nd). He thus made us forget a Robert Lewandowski who had scored during the first two days and who thought he would do it again (71st), but his winning attempt was cancelled, after the intervention of the VAR, for a previous foul by Jules Koundé.
