The team has started the new La Liga season quite well. Rayo Vallecano secured a 2-1 victory in the first round against Real Sociedad, then drew 0-0 with Getafe. In the third round, Vallecano faced Barcelona, took the lead first, but ultimately lost 2-1. This was followed by another defeat against another Catalan team, Espanyol, with a score of 1-2.
In the latest round, the team confidently beat Osasuna 3-1. As a result, Rayo currently sits in tenth place with seven points and a positive goal difference of 7-6. This is a decent start for a team that finished 17th last season, only five points above the relegation zone.
The “Colchoneros” significantly strengthened their squad during the summer transfer window. Key signings include Julián Álvarez, Conor Gallagher, and Léon Normand. Diego Simeone has started to integrate these players into the team’s structure, but the start of the season was not very convincing. They first drew 2-2 with Villarreal, followed by a convincing 3-0 victory over Girona, and then another draw—0-0 with Espanyol.
However, Atlético found their rhythm and secured victories against Athletic Bilbao (1-0) and Valencia (3-0). They currently occupy second place with ten points and a goal difference of 9-2. This week, Atlético began their journey in the Champions League with a comeback victory over Leipzig, winning 2-1. The hero of the match was Griezmann, who scored one goal and provided an assist.
