Real Madrid started to struggle this Sunday against Rayo Vallecano. Vallecano were encouraged by Europe’s spectacular comeback against Lech Poznań (3-2) and will be keen to show their fans their best form. Xabi Alonso’s side improved midway through the first half but were unable to find a goal against Iñigo Perez’s side. Laista’s Pedro Diaz suffered a severe twist in his left knee and was forced to leave the game with an injury.
