The tie between Rayo Majadahonda and Atlético de Madrid of the sixteenth of the Copa del Rey It will be played at the Wanda Metropolitano with the majariego team acting as a local. The good relationship between the two entities, Rayo Majadahonda plays their games in the same place where Atlético de Madrid trains, El Cerro del Espino, and the approval of the RFEF, have made it possible for the team from the strip to play again as a local in the fiefdom of the rojiblanco.
In 2018 the team led then by Antonio Iriondo, achieved the long-awaited promotion to the second category of Spanish football. He played games at home, and nowadays too, in El Cerro del Espino, but this needs to be reconditioned to host LaLiga Smartbank football. While the necessary works were being carried out for football to return to Majadahonda, the majariego team played seven games in the Wanda Metropolitano.
Of those seven matches that he played at home in the rojiblanco fiefdom they achieved four wins, one draw and two defeats, one of them very bulky against Extremadura. The balance is positive, achieved a 57% wins managing to tie 13 of 21 points played, thus achieving one of the best home streaks of the entire season. The goals scored and conceded vary very little. The Majariegos managed to see the goal on eight occasions and received seven, four of them in a match. Unfortunately, the team could not maintain the category and a year later they returned to the old Second B. That squad has nothing to do with the current one, so For the vast majority of the players of the Majariego team it will be the first time they step on the grass of a Champions League stadium.
The illusion is overwhelmed in Majadahonda to return to play in the Wanda MetropolitanoAlthough a certain sector does not agree with taking the Majadahonda party. A little more than 11,000 spectators are expected to attend the stadium. This large influx of public, compared to El Cerro del Espino, will be a great economic injection for a club that is struggling to get into the playoff for promotion to LaLiga Smartabank having one of the average budgets of the competition.
