This is the quagmire match par excellence. Real Madrid travel to Rayo Vallecano this Sunday at 4:15 p.m. for the 12th day of La Liga, a match to follow live with commentary on our site. Currently leading the championship with four points ahead of Villarreal who have a game in hand, Xabi Alonso’s men are looking for victory in Vallecas, where they have not had it since the 2021-22 season to approach the international break with more serenity.
To do this, the Spanish technician aligned a 4-3-3 with an attack composed of Brahim Diaz, Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius. In the absence of the injured Tchouaméni, Camavinga starts in midfield with Güler and Bellingham. Trent Alexander-Arnold is still on the bench. On the Rayo side, Isi Palazon is the starter.
The official compositions:
Rayo Vallecano: Batalla – Ratiu, Lejeune, Mendy, Chavarria – Pedro Diaz, Ciss, Lopez – De Frutos, Palazon, Garcia.
Real Madrid : Courtois – Valverde, Asencio, Huijsen, Carreras – Camavinga, Güler, Bellingham – Brahim, Mbappé, Vinicius.
