Rayo vellecano

El Gran Derbi: When the 2023-24 La Liga schedule was released, Matchday 13 immediately stood out as being one of the most mouth-watering of the entire season. There are so many huge fixtures scheduled this weekend, not least the El Gran Derbi between Sevilla FC and Real Betis on Sunday evening.

Girona FC, the new league leaders, are in action in the first of Saturday’s games. It’ll be a very special occasion for their coach Míchel, as he returns to Rayo Vallecano, the club he used to play for and manage.

Míchel is still beloved in Vallecas, but this will be a tough test for his side as they take on a Rayo Vellecano team who have gone eight rounds without losing in La Liga, which is a club record, according to a release by La Liga India.
