Barcelona return to action in La Liga with yet another road game, this time against Rayo Vallecano.
The Catalans pleaded with La Liga to have their first three games of the season be scheduled away from home, hoping it would give them time for the Camp Nou to be ready for their season debut. Still, delays in the renovation work have made it increasingly likely that Barcelona play their first home game of the season at the Estadi Johan Cruyff.
