Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano Live Stream Free: Watch Spanish La Liga Football Online (Start Time, Preview)

Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano takes place on Saturday in what is sure to be another dramatic day in the Spanish La Liga as all three top teams are in action. This is the third game to start of the top three, but even well before the game Real's job is clear – following two straight defeats they simply must win! The game is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream (details below).

Just a week ago Real's hopes of winning La Liga looked excellent – they were in fantastic form, top of the league, and were four points clear of Barcelona with the hope of defeating their Catalan rivals and moving seven points clear of them.

However, in just a matter of days things have turned sour for Real. They dramatically and somewhat controversially lost to Barcelona 3-4 in the Bernabeu after a flurry of penalty kicks were given, and that allowed Barca to move to within a point of Real.

Most still believed that Real were in charge though. But days later they suffered a second loss, losing to Sevilla in midweek, and that has seen them drop to third in La Liga and now only with an outside chance at taking the title.

Another loss today is unthinkable for the team, and would potentially leave them right out on the fringes of the title race.

Simply put; three points is a must today for Real, and they will be hoping to put on a confidence boosting display against Rayo on Saturday night.

Both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are in action before Real today, which means the pressure could really be high on them even before kick off – as they could find themselves a massive six points behind the table toppers from the start.
