Real Madrid host Rayo Vallecano in the little derby of the capital of Spain. The leader wants to open a temporary gap of 8 points from Girona, again with a makeshift defense.
Fran Garcia in the 11th against the former and also Luka Modric were eliminated from the lineup. Raul de Tomas, ex-Real Madrid, kicked hard in the center and scored his first league goal of the season. The goal was initially disallowed on the grounds of difference, the VAR corrected it and it's 0:1 to Real Madrid.
