- Barca dominated the game except for the odd moments where Rayo scored or got a chance out of nowhere, against the run of play - My MOTM is Yamal, unpressable on the ball and created several good chances , not to mention 2 great goals - What a performance from Raphinha at the number 9 spot yet again, with his form it looks like neither Jesus or Abdelkarim will start much this season - I don't know who should start between Fermin and Olmo, they have both been sensational so far (but I do think Fermin edges it because of his g/a output - Xavi Espart looked so solid you'd think he's been in the team for years. He can even play in midfield alongside both flanks, absolute Swiss army knife - What happened to Kounde these last 2 years, he got absolutely burned effortlessly for Rayo's first goal and looked shaky defensively in general. He needs a rest from the past 3 seasons I feel, starting 50 games a season can't be good for long term fitness - Gordon is so unbelievably fast both on and off the ball and brilliant assist for Raphinha's second - Props to Camello, great finishes for both goals, he couldn't have done much more for Rayo today - Our squad depth looks really good this season but my only concern is still CB, especially considering Christensen's recent injury record
