Did you know? (Looking ahead to Jornada 14 fixtures…)
Tomorrow will be quite an interesting night to be in Madrid! The top 3 teams in La Liga will all be within spitting distance of each other, as all three will be playing on Saturday in Madrid stadiums only 15 km apart.
The first match of the day is between the newly promoted Rayo Vallecano and Valencia CF. Rayo is having a decent run in the middle of the table despite having recently filed for bankruptcy. The Madrid-based club is 22 million euros in debt and has not been able to pay their players for most of the season. Fun fact? Rayo Vallecano’s stadium is the smallest in the top flight of La Liga. It holds about 15,500 spectators.
The second of the day is the highly-anticipated derby match between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. It has been 12 years since Real Madrid last lost a league match against their neighborhood rivals, but El Derbi madrileño is always a feisty affair. Fun fact? Following the departure of David de Gea, Atlético’s new goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, is the youngest (and tallest!) starting goalkeeper in the league. He is 19 years old.
The final of the night is Getafe CF versus FC Barcelona. Fun fact? FC Barcelona is the team that has scored the most goals in the opening 15 minutes of matches (10 goals). Getafe CF is the team that has conceded the most goals in the closing 15 minutes of matches (7 goals).
