Vallecano Ray probably wanted to go home soon from their 3-0 defeat to Villarreal on Sunday evening, but his journey home was delayed by another “rayo”.
The word in Spanish means lightning or a thunderbolt (of lightning), and as they were preparing to return to Madrid, their plane was struck by lightning, as per AS Diary. The plane left out of use for the evening, and Rayo were forced to look for an alternative transport. While they found a bus, it took them several hours to locate a driver, eventually arriving in Vallecas late that night.
According to the report, this is not the first time it has happened this season. At the beginning of April after a 0-0 draw on March 31 with Celta Vigo, but the same thing happened in Galicia, leaving the side. A much longer journey, Rayo ended up staying the night on the Galician coast before finding transport home the next day.
