Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano LIVE. 'Azulgranas' receive the 'fringa' today at the Camp Nou Stadium for the pending match from matchday 21 of LaLiga Santander. Those of Xavi Hernández will take the opportunity to get 3 points ahead of their closest pursuers in the contest in the absence of 5 dates. In this note follow the incidents.

The 'culés' march in the second place of the standings, 15 points behind the leader Real Madrid, so they have virtually no chance of fighting the domestic title. In fact, if they lose today, their classic rival will be closer to being crowned champion before the end of the season.

The venue recovered in the last game. He won 1-0 against Real Sociedad after 2 straight defeats. The first meant the elimination of the Europa League and the second against modest Cadiz. Both of them before their people. But the team returned to triumph and only aims to directly qualify for the next Champions League.

Rayo Vallecano, for his part, comes from beating Espanyol 1-0 in visiting condition. This result earned him to leave the last places in LaLiga Santander. Anyway, you shouldn't trust it because anything can happen in the contest. At the moment it is in box 14 with 37 units.

“What is costing us the most is understanding the game. Interpreting spaces, the free man. As for the model of the game... that is failing the most. Psychologically, the team is very prepared. Everyone is competing very well,” Xavi Hernández told the media.

“On a physical level, perhaps because of the last game, we noticed some fatigue. But we're fine. I would highlight the tactical issue, which is what we have been able to work least. We almost didn't have time. This model of play is different from that of the last coaches,” said the Spaniard.

“It's an opportunity (against Rayo Vallecano). A golden opportunity to gain a foothold in second place. To win a game at home and play better than in the last games. He's a complicated rival. Having won Espanyol gives them a cushion of points so as not to fall into the Second Division”, he released.

“We have to have that ability to get out of high blood pressure. It is a match to demonstrate personality and to be more forceful. It would be an important step to win to be closer to direct qualification for the next Champions League”, closed the former Barcelona player.
