Rayo began La Liga with 2 victories from 2 games, and that’s why the result is shocking. Atletico Madrid have 7 points after 3 matches and is in 2nd place in La Liga with a 10-1 goal difference.
7 – Today’s 7-0 win at Vallecas is Atlético de Madrid’s biggest away win in @LaLigaEN history, and only the second time they have scored seven goals in a match in the competition in the 21st century (7-0 v Getafe in 2013).
