The former Leipzig player comes on as a substitute in the second half and immediately scores the winning goal for his youth club.

New signing Dani Olmo shot FC Barcelona to victory on his debut. Coach Hansi Flick’s team came from behind to beat arch-rivals Rayo Vallecano 2-1 (0-1). After three matchdays, the Catalans are the only team in the Spanish league with nine points, with all three matches ending 2-1.

Former Leipzig player Olmo was substituted in the second half, hit the crossbar straight away (58th minute) and scored the winning goal for his youth club in the 82nd minute with a shot from ten meters. The European champions had to watch the first two match days because Barca had not been able to register him.

The club from the Madrid district of Vallecas took the lead through Unai Lopez (9th minute), but Pedri (60th minute) equalized after the break. For Barça, it was only the second win against Rayo in the last seven league duels.
