End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL TIME - BARCELONA 0-0 RAYO VALLECANO
It's a disappointing start for Barca, who fail to break the deadlock and have to settle for a point in their opening game.
90+5'
NO GOAL!
Rayo think they have won it after Falcao bundles the ball into the back of the net, but he's flagged for offside.
90+3'
BUSQUETS SEES RED!
And, just like that, Busquets is off. He catches Falcao with a stray elbow and can have no complaints really.

AND ANOTHER
Dimitrievski is booked for timewasting which, in fairness, has been a long time coming (no pun intended). Someone's going to get sent off here if it carries on like this.
