Due to La Liga's financial fair play rules, Barcelona have not yet registered new signings Robert Lewandowski, Andreas Christensen, Jules Kounde, Raphinha, and Franck Kessie. Ousmane Dembele and Sergi Roberto have renewed their contracts, but are also yet to be registered. Nico Gonzalez is likely to miss the fixture as he is set to join Valencia on loan. Although he is linked with a move away from the club, Memphis Depay could play on the opening weekend if Xavi's new signings cannot be registered in time. There are no injuries or suspensions for Xavi's squad heading into the game. Andoni Iraola has a full squad available for selection with no injury or suspension worries.

On their way to finishing second in the league last season, Xavi's Barcelona side brought some excitement back to the Spotify Camp Nou. Although it is unclear whether his new signings will be able to play against Rayo Vallecano, the likes of Aubameyang and Pedri should be able to see the home side through. A strong start to the season for Vallecano last year saved them from relegation due to a shambolic period from January to May. From the turn of the New Year, Iraola's team only won two league games and they only finished four points above the relegation zone despite being 12th. Despite the poor form, one of those two wins came against Barcelona and Los Franjirrojos actually did the double over the Catalan giants last season. Barcelona's last win against Vallecano came in January 2021 in a Copa del Rey fixture, in which Lionel Messi scored. In five games against Barcelona, Falcao has scored four goals and grabbed one assist against them. 2:1
