Summary: Atletico Madrid - Real Madrid 2:4 (King's Cup)/Sport1
The 25th round of the Spanish league continues today (Sunday) when Real Madrid will be hosted by Rayo Vallecano, and hope to temporarily open a gap of eight points at the top from Girona, who will host the second at Athletic Bilbao for a difficult and intriguing game.
The Blancos are suffering from injuries in defense, which did not prevent them from keeping a clean sheet against Girona and in the Champions League against R.B.
Leipzig, and they will hope that this will also happen in the little Madrid derby.
Antonio Rudiger was absent again, so alongside Nacho started in the center of the defense, the back midfielder Orlean Tschoumani.
Ferlan Mendy also misses the game due to suspension and in his place was placed as left back Fran Garcia - on the field that was his home last season.
Brahim Dias who scored an amazing winning goal in Leipzig was also replaced due to injury in the same game, qualified and started alongside Vinicius and was eliminated in the offensive part.
Luka Modric also got a place in the 11, amid rumors of a summer departure.
From the other side, Rayo Waicano comes to the game with a new coach in the form of Inigo Peres.
The midfielder who retired only a year and a half ago and last year was Rayo's assistant coach, returns to the club as a temporary coach until the end of the season following the dismissal of Francisco Rodriguez.
The team has won only once in the last 14 rounds and although it has a stable gap of seven points from the red line, it needs points not to get caught in bottom battles.
In the first game of the season, at the Bernabeu, Rayo drew a surprising 0:0.
