Rayo Vallecano’s head coach, Iñigo Pérez, has lauded Ghanaian defender Abdul Mumin for his impressive performances during the 2024-2025 La Liga season, calling it a “sensational” campaign. Pérez made these comments during his post-match interview following Rayo Vallecano’s thrilling 3-3 draw with Real Madrid, acknowledging Mumin’s significant contributions to the team so far this season.

Mumin, who has been a standout player for Rayo Vallecano, scored his second goal of the season in the match against Real Madrid. His goal in the 3-3 draw marked another highlight in what has been his most productive season to date, with two goals and an assist across his first 15 appearances in La Liga. Pérez praised Mumin for his consistent and high-level performances, emphasizing the defender’s role in both the defensive and attacking aspects of Rayo’s play.

In his comments, Pérez also spoke highly of Mumin’s partnership with central defensive partner Florian Lejeune, noting that both players have formed a solid defensive unit this season. Despite facing one of the most formidable teams in La Liga, Real Madrid, Mumin and Lejeune helped Rayo Vallecano secure a point in a hard-fought 3-3 draw, with Mumin playing the full 90 minutes. Pérez highlighted Mumin’s resilience and leadership in defense, as well as his ability to contribute offensively, which has been crucial for Rayo Vallecano’s efforts.

Rayo Vallecano is currently in 13th place in the La Liga standings, a respectable position given the fierce competition in Spain’s top division. The club has faced several tough opponents this season, including the mighty Real Madrid, who sit in second place in the league, just one point behind their arch-rivals, FC Barcelona. Despite the tough competition, Rayo Vallecano has managed to stay competitive, with Mumin’s performances being a major factor in their resilience.

The draw against Real Madrid was an important result for Rayo Vallecano, as they continue to fight for survival and strive to improve their standing in the league. Mumin’s contributions have been integral to the team’s defense and attack, and his growing confidence and form this season have not gone unnoticed by the coaching staff. Pérez’s praise for the defender is a testament to his rising profile in La Liga and the impact he has had on Rayo Vallecano’s campaign.

As the season progresses, Mumin’s role in the team will likely continue to grow, with Pérez and the coaching staff counting on his defensive solidity and attacking contributions. The Ghanaian defender’s ability to play a full 90 minutes in high-stakes matches, like the one against Real Madrid, showcases his fitness and determination to perform at the highest level.

Rayo Vallecano’s 3-3 draw with Real Madrid also highlighted the team’s resilience and fighting spirit, with Mumin playing an important role in securing a point from one of the league’s toughest teams. As the season continues, Rayo Vallecano will need more performances like this to maintain their place in La Liga and possibly challenge for a higher position in the standings.

Overall, Abdul Mumin’s performances this season have certainly been one of the bright spots for Rayo Vallecano, and his contributions on both ends of the pitch have earned him praise from his coach and teammates alike. His development and form in the 2024-2025 season could prove pivotal in Rayo Vallecano’s pursuit of further success in La Liga, and the Ghanaian defender’s future at the club looks promising.
