“At Rayo, players don’t live in a bubble. Before every game, you park your car on the street and walk through the supporters. You quickly realise it is different, with a sense of belonging and communion.”
Rayo Vallecano are perhaps Spain’s strangest football club. They only sell paper tickets. Rival clubs have made fun of outdated facilities at their ramshackle home stadium.
But there is also a special magic to the place, which has reached new heights during this season’s adventure to the Conference League semi-finals.
@dermotmcorrigan explains why fans have been camping out in the streets to secure their part in it.

Lo que ha mostrado Carles aquí es un puto escándalo. Es incomprensible que las calles no estén ardiendo en este país. La inacción de todas las administraciones, desde gobierno central a comunidades y ayuntamientos saldrá cara. A muchos les tendría que dar vergüenza.
Went to a VERY EXPENSIVE karaoke session last night. It was called ‘Oasis live at Wembley’. The audience knew all the words and sang along to every tune while the backing band on stage supplied thé rhythm tracks. Interesting how someone else’s show becomes a show about you.
@technopopulist A prime spot 🤣 they were literally playing at 2.30 pm, the 3rd act of the day in the 3rd major stage with 4 more to go still. A lot of people still showed up, and filled the place for Kneecap afterwards
