Squad15 Feb 2027

The knee: Izei Cabrera out for 16 days

16 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Rayo Vallecano lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market15 Feb 2027

Andrei Raţiu puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Rayo Vallecano, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Augusto Batalla keeps Rayo Vallecano in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Words exchanged at Rayo Vallecano

Florian Lejeune and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match13 Feb 2027

Rayo Vallecano get the job done against Real Sociedad

A 2‑1 win over Real Sociedad, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings15 Feb 2027

Alemão was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.10. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings15 Feb 2027

Ninety minutes of Isi Palazón at his very best

Marked 8.02. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Rayo Vallecano.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Words at Rayo Vallecano training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Óscar Valentín is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

The manager makes an example of Óscar Valentín

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad8 Feb 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Izei Cabrera

24 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Rayo Vallecano lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Augusto Batalla stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

Oscar Meza says Rayo Vallecano went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Tempers go at Rayo Vallecano

Florian Lejeune was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market8 Feb 2027

Levante watching Luiz Felipe

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Rayo Vallecano have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

No hiding place for Sergio Camello

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sergio Camello, and the manager let it.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Óscar Valentín falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Loan watch8 Feb 2027

Pelayo has seen enough of Las Palmas

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Rayo Vallecano, and 3 appearances in 25 say he has earned the hearing.

Player ratings8 Feb 2027

Andrei Raţiu was immovable

15 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad1 Feb 2027

The knee: Izei Cabrera out for 32 days

32 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Rayo Vallecano lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market1 Feb 2027

Pedro Díaz hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Rayo Vallecano can pretend not to have heard.

Match30 Jan 2027

At last: Rayo Vallecano win one

11 matches without a win, and then this, against Girona. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Boardroom1 Feb 2027

Window shuts: 5 in, 1 out at Rayo Vallecano

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 5 arrived, 1 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market1 Feb 2027

Florian Lejeune raises the bar for Rayo Vallecano

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Rayo Vallecano heard it as anything else.

Market1 Feb 2027

Elche watching Pedro Díaz

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Rayo Vallecano have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Florian Lejeune in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Rayo Vallecano this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets1 Feb 2027

Valencia tell Rayo Vallecano: César Tárrega is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match30 Jan 2027

Rayo Vallecano see off Girona

Three points for Rayo Vallecano, 2‑1 the final word against Girona in a contest settled by the finer margins.
