Rayo’s aim: a Conference League push
Andoni Iraola’s squad, nicknamed the Rayistas, seeks a bold performance at the Santiago Bernabéu to close the gap to seventh place, which would grant a path to next season’s UEFA Conference League. They currently sit just four points behind that threshold. A win would keep their European dreams alive, while a stumble could complicate their plans.
