Barcelona Loses To Raye Vallecano, Real Madrid Is Getting Closer To The La Liga Title

JAKARTA - Barcelona surprisingly lost to Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish La Liga match, Monday, April 25 in the morning of GMT+7 (Indonesian Time). Xavi Hernandez's men lost 1-0 at Camp Nou.

Barcelona's goal has been conceded since the 7th minute. Receiving the ball from Isi Palazon, Alvaro Garcia successfully beat goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Barcelona actually appear with full strength in this match. Only Pedri is absent due to injury.

However, despite dominating the game with 71 percent possession, Barcelona struggled to penetrate the strong defense of Vallecano.

Many opportunities were created, but were always broken by the visitors' defense. Vallecano goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski also deserves thumbs up for making several saves.

With this result, Barcelona failed to approach Real Madrid at the top of the standings. The Catalan club is stuck in second place with 63 points, 15 points adrift of Real Madrid.

The Spanish La Liga competition itself now only has five games remaining. That means Real Madrid only needs to win one more game to win the league title.
