Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano: Predicted line-ups, kick-off time, how and where to watch the game on TV and online

Barcelona will host Rayo Vallecano at the Camp Nou in their LaLiga Santander opener. Following a season where they failed to win a single trophy, the Blaugrana spent big in the summer to strengthen their squad.

New signings have arrived but it is doubtful whether the club will manage to register them in time to make their official debut on Saturday night.

Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski have all joined Barcelona in the ongoing transfer window, with the former Leeds winger having already shined in preseason.
