Frankfurt's 2: 3 Summary over Barcelona (Sport 1)

Barcelona's free fall, which began last month after just two months, continued tonight (Sunday) when the Blaugrana suffered a historic loss in a 21st-round rematch: Rayo Vallecano celebrated a small-big 0-1 at the Camp Nou and Barça were defeated at home for the third time in a row that season , Something that has never happened to this day.

Remember, Rayo Vallecano was the one who provided the final trigger for the dismissal of Ronald Koeman, when she defeated the Catalans at the end of October.

Tonight it can be proud to be the first team since 1998, and the fourth overall in history, that in the promotion season from the sub-league defeats Barcelona twice in the league.

The one who signed the wonderful achievement of Andoni Areola's team is Albero Garcia, who scored with the only white-red kick towards the frame, already in the seventh minute of the game.

Xavi's side are losing advice both defensively and offensively: on the one hand they can not do without Gerard Pique, who was absent tonight due to injury, and on the other hand they have scored only one right goal in the last three games including tonight.

Bottom line, Barça's place in the Champions League has not been promised at all, and if that is not enough, in two weeks' time a tough away game awaits them against the new King's Cup holder, Real Betis, who is also battling for one of the 2-4 places at the end of the season.

In between, Barcelona hope to recover in a home game against humble Mallorca next Sunday.

Minute 7: Goal, 0: 1 to Rayo Vallecano!

Albero took control of a ball at the opening of the extension, Dest did not cover well enough and Ter Stegen did not close the near corner, so the winger took advantage of this to kick inside.

25th minute: Jordi Alba's kick from outside the box tickled the beam on the way out.

43rd minute: Gabby kicked from an extension to the crossbar and Fran Torres who took control of the rebound scored with an archery kick, but was different at the time of Gabby's kick so the goal was not counted.

Barcelona is at a loss.
