00:00When James Rodríguez landed on the Rayo Vallecano, no one could imagine that the story would end neither so soon nor so badly.

00:09But what happened in these almost five months?

00:12James arrived at the Rayo on August 26, 2024, after rescinding his contract with El Sao Paulo.

00:19The Rayo then added a former Real Madrid player, MVP of the Copa América and world star.

00:25It was a blow to the modest Madrid club.

00:29But the funny thing is that it did not have the impact that was expected.

00:34For not having, it did not even have an official presentation.

00:37Although it was announced that it would be postponed, a new date was never scheduled.

00:42James left the club without having been formally introduced, something unusual for a player of his caliber.

00:49As for his performance, it was minimal.

00:52In the four months he was at the Rayo, he played only 203 minutes in 7 games.

00:57His only title in LaLiga ended in defeat, and his only outstanding contribution was an assist in the Copa del Rey.

01:05A performance far below expected.

01:08James' passage through Vallecas will be just one note at the foot of his career.

01:13A chapter that neither he nor the club will remember with pleasure.

01:17What he promised to be a great opportunity, ended up being a wasted stage for both parties.

01:23Now, with his signing for the Club León, James begins a new chapter in his career.

01:29In LaLiga MX, the Colombian will seek to find his best version,

01:34leaving behind what could have been in the Rayo Vallecano.
