La Liga 2025–26 Free Live Streaming Online and TV Telecast Detail: Real Madrid return to La Liga 2025-26 action at the Santiago Bernabéu, hosting local rivals Rayo Vallecano in a critical Matchday 22 encounter. Following a disappointing midweek defeat to Benfica in the UEFA Champions League, the pressure is on manager Alvaro Arbeloa to secure three points and maintain pace with league leaders Barcelona in the race for the Spanish title. Barcelona Extend La Liga 2025-26 Lead with Decisive Victory Against Elche.

Real Madrid currently sits just one point behind Barcelona in the standings, making every fixture vital as the season enters its final third. Despite individual brilliance from Kylian Mbappe, who has netted 21 league goals this season, the team has faced scrutiny regarding tactical balance. Arbeloa has publicly defended his untouchable stars, including Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior, insisting they remain essential to the club's domestic aspirations.

Rayo Vallecano arrive at the Bernabéu in 16th place, hovering just one point above the relegation zone. Inigo Perez’s side has struggled for goals this season, scoring only 17 times in 21 matches—the third-lowest return in the division. While they have proven difficult to break down in past derbies, they haven't secured a win at this venue since 1996.
