Real Madrid return to La Liga after a tough defeat at Anfield against Liverpool. Xabi Alonso’s team, leader of the national competition, visits Vallecas to face a Rayo team that won the Conference League game after an epic comeback against Poland’s Lech Poznan (3-2). The spotlight, however, fell on the figure of his coach, Iñigo Pérez, who argued with Balliu on camera after replacing the defender. For the Whites, Vinicius returns to the starting lineup with the new additions to the eleven of Brahim Díaz and Raúl Asencio.
