VIDEO: Goal to the living room! Valverde’s shot ends up on the balcony of Vallecano fans
Real Madrid put in one of the worst performances of the season, if not the worst. It was the first loss of the season and it has to be said that it was completely deserved, Rayo Vallecano were better all game. The fans were at least entertained by Valverde, who gifted the spectators in the balcony with a match ball.

The World Cup in Qatar is fast approaching and it shows. Real Madrid have had two losses in their last two La Liga games, with an appalling performance against Rayo Vallecano in particular.
They don’t go into battles at 100%, they lack aggression, intensity, sprinting runs. Quite simply, the players are afraid of getting injured before the peak of their careers.
The modest team from Madrid took their neighbouring rival by surprise. Real took a quick lead and then turned it around, but Rayo equalised before half-time at 2-2. And when Carvajal made a mistake in the second half, it was a penalty and the score was 3-2 to Rayo.
Valverde tried to save the game, but his shot went badly wide. Or actually, it did, because if he was going to score that, he probably wouldn’t have got it in one of his hundred attempts.
In the smallest stadium in La Liga (14,000) there is no stand behind one goal. Behind the long wall, the prefabricated buildings stand out, on whose balconies some fans can watch first-class football from the comfort of their own homes. And it is these fans that Valverde has saluted.
After a corner, the ball bounced into the whitewash, where the Uruguayan bomber was just lurking with an incredible cannon in his foot. He’s already scored 8 goals this season, the vast majority from behind the whitewash. Only this time, his shot didn’t quite go in.
Not only did he send his shot into the balcony, but the ball went straight into the open doorway into the living room. I hope it didn’t hit his TV-watching wife in the head.
The home crowd jumped up and down as if Rayo had just scored. “Keep it,” the amused Vallecano supporters shouted at the owner of the balcony and now the new ball.
