Rayo Vallecano will be ready tomorrow night for Barcelona's challenge according to head coach Inigo Perez.
Perez sent the club to La Liga Safety at the end of last season after replacing Francisco in Vallecas.
Rayo finished five points above the drop zone when Perez justified the belief in him despite the fact that he had no previous La Liga experience.
His close relationship with the players was the key when he raised the La Liga table from a coach to the top rink and Rayo storms the la Liga table in 2025.
They go to Catalonia on the back of three consecutive competition profits and an unbeaten La Liga streak of nine games that extend until the beginning of December.
That has pushed them into sixth place in the table, which could be sufficient for a first European qualification in more than two decades.
Perez has retained the core values of hard work and connection with the fans in his players and it produces maximum results.
“We are in very good form, but we are confronted with a rival that has no weakness”, according to reports from Diario Sport.
“I think we can win tomorrow, and that is not an empty explanation, but we must know that it is one of the most difficult places to play in La Liga.
In addition to his confidence about the potential for a shock result, Perez also praised the first season of Hansi Flick, who has channeled some Rayo forces in his team.
“Flick can convince Barcelona players to run as they play for Rayo. That is impressive that he can convince players of that level that physical exertion brings you closer to your goals. “
If Rayo can achieve a daring victory in Barcelona, this will be their first way there since 2022, after losing only one of their last four home games against La Blaugrana.
