Andoni Iraola’s Rayo Vallecano is one of the fashionable teams in LaLiga Santander. With 31 points in 20 days, the people of Madrid have settled in the fight for European positions, managing to be in Champions positions on some day.
Those from the capital, who have defeated teams like FC Barcelona or Athletic Club, have recorded eight wins and two draws in nine home games this 2021/22 season, a record that has not been seen in a newly promoted team since 1977/ 78.

All of them finished in the first half of the table and in the case of the Valladolid club they did so as fourth classified.
