Rayo Vallecano

Alfredo Relaño reacts to Villarreal and Atlético's entertaining LaLiga draw on Sunday, in what is shaping up as a thrilling race for European places.

Alfredo Relaño looks back over Sunday's LaLiga action, which brought much-needed wins for Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, but an unexpected defeat for leaders Real Madrid.

Rayo Vallecano are a decent side but all it took was for Falcao to pull a goal back and Madrid fell apart, undoing all of their earlier work, notes Alfredo Relaño.

After recent indifferent form, Barça delivered a well below-par performance in Vallecas where they only managed one shot on target in the 90 minutes

Villarreal are hoping to write a key page in the club's history books as they face Manchester United in the historic Polish city of Gdansk.

Alfredo Relaño reflects on Barcelona's 2-1 Copa del Rey last-16 win over Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday evening.
