The first leg of the final for promotion to First between Rayo Vallecano and Girona has had an exceptional guest: Zinedine Zidane. It is the first public appearance of the French coach after his departure from Real Madrid and the open letter explaining his goodbye that he addressed to Real Madrid through the pages of AS. The white ex-coach went to the Vallecas Stadium with his family to support and witness the game of his son Luca, who is playing for promotion to First with the franjirrojo team. The match is played with a restricted capacity of 1,500 people.
The second of Zidane's children is the first of the two seasons he signed with Rayo after finishing his time at Real Madrid. Luca, 23, has completed a season with intermittent prominence in Iraola's team. The goalkeeper has assumed the ownership of the Rayista goal in the final stretch of the season by the call of Dimitrievski with the North Macedonia team to dispute the European Championship.
