Barcelona stumbled in their opening match of the Spanish league on Saturday evening, with "European top scorer" Robert Lewandowski, who recently joined the club, unable to find the net. Barcelona settled for a goalless draw against Rayo Vallecano at Camp Nou, a surprising setback for the Catalan club at the start of their La Liga campaign.
Barcelona's new stars, including Brazilian Raphinha and Polish Robert Lewandowski, did not deliver the expected performance, failing to score any goals throughout the 90 minutes. The Polish forward, a previous winner of the European Golden Shoe, missed several chances during the match and could not open his scoring account in Spain. Lewandowski transferred from Bayern Munich to Barcelona last month in a highly anticipated deal for the Catalan club, due to the striker's remarkable goal-scoring ability and extensive experience in Europe.
