10 Coolest Clubs In World Football

Behind Real and Atlético, Rayo are Madrid’s prototypical third child. They’re also the team who most embodies the Spanish capital’s working class.

Rayo also couldn’t care less about making money; they donate merchandise sales to worthy causes, their away kit features a rainbow sash and one of their stadium’s stands is literally just a big wall. The banner 'Poor but Proud' is tattooed across the terraces.

The only thing Rayo care less about than money, is draws. The club views them as pointless, especially as they will normally be embroiled in relegation scraps.

As a result, Rayo Vallecano play a ludicrously attacking brand of football, think Blackpool under Ian Holloway only less bothered about defence and complaining about the officials.

Perpetually overshadowed by Madrid’s big two clubs, Rayo are impossible not to love.
