He's been effective in each of his last two La Liga appearances, and will hope to continue that form through the international break and into the clash against Granada on Nov. 21.

Vinicius Junior - Takes three shots in win Vinicius took three shots (two on target) and created a chance in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Vinicius was dangerous as ever on Saturday, but he wasn't able to get on the score sheet himself in his side's tight win over Rayo.

Randy Nteka - Takes two shots in loss Nteka took two shots (one on target) and won one of two tackles in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Real Madrid. He also made a clearance and an interception in the match.

Impact Nteka was in the starting lineup on Saturday for just the second time in Rayo's last eight La Liga games, but he didn't do much against Real Madrid to convince manager Andoni Iraola to make him a permanent member of the XI. He does have three goals this season however, and 35-year-old Radamel Falcao probably won't be able to play in every single game, so Nteka will still have an important part to play with his side, even if it's as a substitute sometimes.
