Rayo Vallecano, boosted by league win, heads to Conference League final

Rayo Vallecano finished the Spanish league season with a 1-2 away win against Alavés, a result that offers a significant morale boost ahead of their historic European Conference League final.

The team will face Crystal Palace in Leipzig, Germany, on May 27 for the final. Despite the challenge of playing a strong English team, expectations are high due to Rayo Vallecano's current strong physical and sporting form. The club is on its best streak of the season, with nine consecutive matches without a loss, including six wins and three draws.

In LaLiga EA Sports, Rayo Vallecano secured an eighth-place finish, matching their previous season's standing. This achievement also guarantees their presence in Spain's top division for a sixth consecutive season, a club record. Key players Isi Palazón and Álvaro García will be available for the final; Palazón returns after a suspension, and García has recovered from an injury.

Over eleven thousand fans are expected to travel from Spain to support the team in Leipzig, anticipating a historic moment for the club, regardless of the final outcome. The team's journey this season has been described as sensational, with the European title being the desired culmination.
