BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Robert Lewandowski has endured a frustrating debut for Barcelona after Rayo Vallecano earned a scoreless draw at Camp Nou in their Spanish league opener.

The modest Madrid-based club also proved dangerous on the break and was only stopped from scoring by the goalkeeping of Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
