The 25th round of La Liga continues at this time as Real Madrid host Espanyol at the Santiago Bernabeu, for a very important match for the champions. The game, like all the Spanish league games, is broadcast on ONE channel for Yes, HOT Cellcom TV and Partner TV subscribers.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team failed to win in their last pair of league games, when they finished 1:1 against Atlético Madrid and 0:0 with Betis, and if that wasn’t enough – then in between came a 1:0 home loss to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-finals . The Blancos want to temporarily reduce the gap from the leader Barça to six points.
On the other side of the barricade, the Catalans won two of their last three rounds and managed to get a little away from the burning bottom, but in the last round Sorm came back with a 2:1 loss to Valladolid, and they are still close to the dangerous zone, so their ambition is to come out with at least a point.
Earlier this season, the European champions beat the team from Catalonia away 1:3, while the last meeting between the sides at the Bernabeu last season ended in a 0:4 loss. Espanyol’s last win over the Blancos was in October 2021, when Raul de Tomas and Eilish Vidal scored en route to a 2-1 draw.
