Gives up late equalizer
Batalla made three saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Girona.
Analysis: Batalla cost Rayo Vallecano two points in what could be a tight finish for a Europe spot next season with the late goal, though he did make three saves in the match. The goalkeeper should be able to have a strong outing to rebound from the late collapse when he plays Valencia, a team with just 38 goals scored in 35 La Liga games.
Saves penalty against Getafe
Batalla made three saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 2-0 win over Getafe. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 61st minute.
Analysis: Batalla returned to the starting lineup after serving suspension in the previous league matchup, and he put in a remarkable effort, recording a penalty save along with his second straight clean sheet considering domestic and European play. It has been a solid campaign for him, with his 10 clean sheets ranking third in the competition so far. He's now expected to get the nod over Daniel Cardenas ahead of a crucial week in which the team will visit Strasbourg for the second leg of the Conference League semifinals before hosting a struggling Girona side in league action.
