Robert Lewandowski's Barcelona debut ended in a disappointing 0-0 home draw with Rayo Vallecano at Camp Nou in their first LaLiga game of the season on Saturday.

Most of Barca's chances in the first half came from wingers Raphinha and Dembele, who linked up well and gave the team an attacking threat. As the frustration mounted for Barca, their captain Sergio Busquets lost his cool and was sent off for an elbow to the face of Falcao Garcia in stoppage time. He made a couple of crucial stops in the second half, one from a Busquets long-range shot and another from a strike by Raphinha.
