Isi Palazon was at the centre of everything for Rayo Vallecano and won the player of the match award as well. He played as the right midfielder and very rarely gave the ball away. He was instrumental to Rayo Vallecano’s win as he was the player who played the creative role and skipped past challenges with his technical ability. He combined well with other players, created chances, and defended well too. He won five duels and made two tackles as well, which made life difficult for the visitors.
Rayo Vallecano ruined Real Madrid’s plan to go top of the table on Monday night and instead gave Barcelona a two-point advantage. Carlo Ancelotti will not be pleased with the missed chances and will be urging his players to get back to their best form. The home side, on the other hand, will be looking to take this huge win as an inspiration to climb up the ladder.
