Barcelona fell for the first time this season in Rayo Vallecano on Sunday with a 1-1 draw with Laiga.
Lamine Yamal scored a 40th minute free throw to give Hansi Flick one side an advantage into the break, but Rayo scored the goal in 67 minutes of substitute Fran Perez to win the draw at Estadio de Vallecas.
The host of the eighth-placed Spanish top flight last semester scored five minutes left from Isi Palazon, while Flick let goalkeeper Joan Garcia thank Barca Spotper for keeping his scoring level after a series of fines at Barca Spotper.
It was a recreational match in Madrid, just a few miles the day before, with great rivals from the Catalan Club Real Madrid defeating Mallorca from the back to keep their perfect start to the season and moving to the top.
The result means that Barcelona ranked fourth after three games. Marcus Rashford started the bench with a seasonal loan from Manchester United and showed up in the past half hour.
But the England international was hardly able to change the outcome of the game, and his first goal in the Barcelona color was hunting.
On September 13, Flick’s side is the next move, while Real Madrid heads to Real Sociedad.
