"I am disappointed with the result but the team tried until the last second," Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman said as he reacted to his side's defeat to Madrid in El Clasico.
"We didn't create many clear opportunities. It was an even match but in the end the small details proved key. It is difficult to find positives from losing at home to Madrid, but I liked the attitude of the players and the fans.
"There is another game on Wednesday, the season is very long so we will keep fighting."
The last meeting between Vallecano and Barcelona in a league match was on 9 March 2019.
Barcelona claimed a well-deserved 3-1 victory over Vallecano in an encounter which was played at Camp Nou which is the largest stadium in Spain and Europe.
