- 22' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both FC Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano de Madrid are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 27' Supporters expect more eagerness from Isi Palazon, as he is very good at scoring at Camp Nou with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 28' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Xavi Hernandez.
- 29' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Xavi Hernandez.
- 34' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 37' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Santiago Comesana.
- 42' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Iraola will be considering his options from the bench.
- 46' FC Barcelona ring the changes. Sergino Dest has done his job and it is now time for Clement Lenglet to step up.

- 76' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 81' The referee shows FC Barcelona player a Yellow card on 81.
- 85' Poor challenge from Isi Palazon. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
