El 25 de noviembre de 2020 falleció Diego Armando Maradona. Sobre si fue o no el mejor futbolista de la historia cada uno tendrá su opinión. Lo que es innegable es que para mucha gente fue el jugador más célebre e icónico que existió jamás. Cinco años sin el Diego. Cinco años sin D10S.

Possibly the pic of the year. Oasis live on stage in Buenos Aires this week with a tribute to El 🔟 🇦🇷 #oasislive25

Once again, given the total indifference from the club, Rayo fans VCN 1924 save the day with two smart new jerseys commemorating the club's return to European competition. Online imminently at vcnwear.com

Big Rayo-esque shout out for the new just released Wydad Casablanca jersey!

Vallecas anoche con Palestina. Si la frase os suena musical es porque es un guiño al "nadie puede abrir semillas en el corazón del sueño" de Lorca cantado por Camarón en La leyenda del tiempo.

No surprises really with Rayo-Lech Poznan UEFA Conference League game declared as 'high risk' by local authorities. www.estadiodeportivo.com/futbol/rayo-...

Absolutely fantastic snap shot on the Spanish capital and how life in Madrid is evolving with the good and not so.. Looking forward to the book!

Now, there are protective phone cases and then there are these... 🔟 🇦🇷

Vamos Euro Rayo ⚡

So how will the 'official' Diego Maradona 🔟 energy drink taste??? @hylland.bsky.social you tried this yet?

Borja Iglesias.

A massive boo hiss to: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Villarreal, Real Sociedad, Espanyol and (surprise, surprise) Rayo Vallecano. These are the only six LaLiga clubs who have not signed up to the reciprocal €30 away ticket cap and an agreed pro rata % ticket allocation for away fans.

Just excellent from @sidlowe.bsky.social on what is going on both on and off the pitch at Rayo. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Rayo's activity in the summer transfer market. Presa actually spending some € this time around!

Big Vallekas night as Rayo romp to a 4-0 win over FK Neman and secure a place in the Uefa Conference League group stage.. Draw tomorrow... #EuroRayo ⚡

🕕 We welcome UEFA’s decision to set the kick-off time for this season’s #UCL final in Budapest at 18:00 — this will make a big difference for fans. ✅ Day trips possible for travelling fans who want to avoid hotel costs ✅ Better post-match transport, removing the challenge of late-night closures

Tonight, for or the first time in 25 years, Rayo are at home in a Uefa game as they face FK Neman in the #UECL play-off. Also, after a 6 year (RM Presa motivated) hiatus, I'm back in the ADRV season ticket game for 25/26. See you all in VKS! #EuroRayo #LlevameAlBarrio

Less than 24 hours to go ! #EuroRayo ⚡ #LlevameAlBarrio

🇦🇷 This is what Rosario Central’s stadium El Gigante de Arroyito looks like on derby day! 💛💙 On Saturday evening Central beat city rivals Newell’s Old Boys 1-0 after a stunning freekick by local lad Ángel Di María! 🫶🏻

For Rayo fans who can't make it to VKS tomorrow, the Conference League play-off second leg will be shown live via Teledeporte (VPN to ESP for viewers outside Spain). Kick-off at 20h CET. #EuroRayo ⚡️

A day to go before European football returns to VKS for the first time in 25 years with 'El Rayo Fui Yo' by Duro Galvan on playlist repeat #ADRV ⚡ #EuroRayo

The boy @nickmiller79.bsky.social has had a peruse through some of the new 25-26 season jerseys for clubs outside the Premier League. FC Porto's wonderful 3rd kit conspicuous by its absence ! www.nytimes.com/athletic/655...

Never a great looks for a groundsman when the green paint used to hide pitch discolouring makes it onto the players shirts. This was the case for Leganes' 2A opening game but with relentless Spanish summer heat, it must be a tough gig trying to maintain a decent playing surface.

... And on the subject of shirts, just how vile is the Neman Grodno shirt... A shocker!

There could only be one shirt to sport today. From the first #EuroRayo Uefa Cup campaign in 2000/01. Old school X Joma banger with the classic Rumasa sponsor.

My word, there are a ton of English language Neman Grodno accounts out there, or at least there were during the pandemic when the Belarus top flight was the only active league in the world.

Rayo are back in Europe for the first time in 25 years and their Conference League playoff game against Neman Grodno is to be played in Hungary behind closed doors only to be enjoyed it appears by Grodno natives in the town square.

One for @atalantabcnews.bsky.social and the Nerazzurri fraternity. With the team moving to New Balance, Joma ESP are knocking out the last bits of 24-25 season limited sizes stock at 'crazy prices' .... get involved www.joma-sport.com/es_ES/deport...

New season, new kits. ESPN duo Marsden & Kirkland offer their Top 10 LaLiga shirts for 25-26. (spoiler alert, Rayo's kits fail to make an appearance) www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Joined by some solid company for breakfast today... Guía Marca for the 25/26 season, the latest @revistapanenka.bsky.social (kit special) and a pack of the new campaign stickers as a side order.

Best kit, ever?! The Spanish footie mag @RevistaPanenka had a vote on the best ever kit and 100,000+ votes later it was Boca’s 1981/82 kit that came out on top (ahead of Brazil 1998, Fiorentina 1998/99 and Germany 1990) Thoughts?!

Spain 🇪🇸 Borja Iglesias faced homophobic abuse after Celta’s unveiling showed him with painted nails. Journalist Lucía Taboada denounced entrenched prejudice in football and praised the player for breaking harmful stereotypes. buff.ly/R5ztxTF
