October 28th According to "AS" report, Argentine goalkeeper Batala is building an impenetrable defense line for Vallecano. He has kept goals in three consecutive La Liga games, which is the first time in the history of the club to achieve this feat. These three clean sheets came against Real Sociedad (0-1), Levante (0-3) and Alaves (0-1).

Battala is an indispensable cornerstone of Rayo Vallecano, and is even more crucial to head coach Inigo Perez. Not only did he start every game in the league and UEFA Europa League, he also played all game minutes. His statistics were impeccable: 145 long passes, 290 attempted passes, 44 passes into the final third, 10 passes into the opposition box and 100 forward passes.

BeSoccer's data also shows his advantages in other aspects, such as 3 offensive confrontations, 49 advances with the ball, 11 confrontations (including 9 wins), and 5 ground confrontations. In addition, he ranks second in La Liga with 17 high-altitude ball attacks.

Batara is not only technically excellent, but also deeply loved by his teammates and fans. He is a true leader. Rayo Vallecano signed him at the end of last season and hopes he will stay until 2030 and continue to set new records for the team.
