Espanyol will host the “Catalan Derby” against its rivals Barcelona tomorrow in the 34th stage of the Spanish Football League, with a double goal: to score three decisive points in its battle to stay in the first division, and to postpone the crowning of its neighbor with the title.
Coach Xavi Hernandez’s men have the opportunity to clinch the 27th title in the history of their club and the first since 2019 in the event of victory at the “RCDE Stadium”, a possibility that Espanyol fans cannot imagine.
Barcelona can also secure the title before visiting Espanyol, in the event that its direct pursuers, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid III, fail to beat Elche tomorrow and Getafe today, respectively.
By contrast, Espanyol are fighting to maintain their presence at the other end of the table, currently sitting in 19th place, three points off safety with five stages to go.
