Eclipse of Madrid under the Vallecas sun against a combative Rayo. Madrid started at the usual level, intense in the duels and with the initiative.

It lasted the minimum, very little to win. In the ideal scenario for Madrid, Ancelotti's team lacked individual fang and courage. Rayo, on the other hand, put in what they were supposed to do and had not had, intensity, and with little equalized the match and compromised Madrid. Lucas Vázquez made it clear where the doubts of Tchouaméni, an accidental central defender, germinated.
