Barcelona survives the trap of Rayo Vallecano. And waiting for the gift of the derby

The Barcelona team succeeded in moving away from the top of the league after beating Rayo Vallecano with a goal without reply, on Sunday, at the  "Spotify Camp Nou" stadium.

With this result, Barcelona raised their tally to 73 points at the top of the table, 7 points ahead of Real Madrid, while Rayo Vallecano's tally stood at 32 in14th place.

Barcelona await a gift in the Madrid derby, this evening, if Real stumble against Atletico, which could reduce the pressure on Barça in the title race.
