What happened?
Rayo Vallecano will start the season as the home team in Butarque, while waiting for the authorities to decide on the Vallecas stadium. The 26/27 season of the Vallecano squad is marked by two crucial factors: the departure of Iñigo Pérez to Villarreal and the uncertainty about the Vallecas stadium.
Why it matters for Rayo Vallecano?
The influence and legacy of Iñigo Pérez are beyond doubt after the two campaigns he completed at Rayo Vallecano. His football, unafraid and vertical, without concessions, served to identify the Vallecano fans with the team, despite the numerous difficulties that surround a club accustomed to living in conflict.
What comes next?
The team's base of footballers remains after a market of little movement in Vallecas. The change in the bench led by Beñat San José, who is starting in the elite of Spanish football, will mark the aspirations of a Rayo that does not want to live dramas in the battle to avoid relegation. With 29 goals scored and 38 conceded, the team is 44 points behind the leaders Barcelona. Their next match will be against Getafe in Butarque on February 21, 2027, when they will be in eighth place in the table.
What's new in the league?
The 26/27 season of the League started with Rayo Vallecano in 13th place, with 35 points and a balance of 8 wins, 11 draws and 12 losses in 31 games. Their last match was against Villarreal, which won 3-2. The team has the opportunity to improve their position in the table with their next match against Getafe.
What's new in the transfer market?
The transfer market has been of little movement in Vallecas, but the change in the bench with Beñat San José may mark a turning point in the season of Rayo Vallecano. The team is looking to improve their position in the table and avoid relegation, and the Spanish coach may be the key to achieving it.
