🎥 Vallecas and surrealism, again: a goal held together with tape 🩹 | OneFootball

Rayo Vallecano fans are used to anything involving their club having turned, for some time now, into a surreal situation.

Whether it’s paper-only tickets in the middle of 2026, the ownership’s constant snubs toward the fans, or the neglect of the facilities where the club plays and trains... “Miracle” sometimes falls short of describing how Rayo is where it is.

The latest episode happened last night. One of the goals at the Vallecas Stadium did not have the nets properly secured. What was the solution—improvised once again? A roll of medical tape and Dani Cárdenas standing on a ball to fix the mess and allow the match to start normally.

Unfortunately, this is not the only problem at the Vallecas Stadium, whose fans have criticized the lack of cleanliness and maintenance, as well as issues with the venue’s facilities and access points. To make matters worse, the scoreboard was not working last night and had to be replaced with a screen behind one of the goals.

Rayo Vallecano’s fans have more than earned their place in heaven, there is no doubt about that.
