Xavi on Rayo

Yes, tomorrow is another golden opportunity for us to consolidate second place. To play at home and win again after two losses at home. They are a complicated opponent, their last win against Espanyol was important for them to stay in La Liga. They are working hard under a good coach, they play a great style, they will try to press us.
