Barcelona Aims to Maintain Momentum Against Rayo Vallecano
Barcelona will look to continue their strong start to the La Liga season as they face Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday night. The Blaugrana have won their first two matches, sitting just behind Real Betis on goal difference.
Team News
Rayo Vallecano has made headlines with the signing of former Real Madrid star James Rodriguez. While his involvement on Tuesday night is uncertain, the team boasts a strong attacking lineup, including right winger Isi Palazon.
