"Chains are made to be broken. It's a negative statistic, but this team has a strong character, and we'll be playing at home in front of our fans. In derbies, the odds are even, and if we're fully focused"
Barcelona and Espanyol meet at the RCDE Stadium in a heated Catalan derby with an electric atmosphere and vocal Espanyol fans protesting Joan Garcia's controversial move. Espanyol have implemented measures to prevent hostility among supporters. Espanyol deserve their league position and will fight until the end while focusing on neutralising Barcelona's midfield. The team sits fifth after back-to-back wins and displays excellent rhythm, solidity, and confidence in daily work. Positive momentum allows for uninhibited play and belief that, if Espanyol perform at full potential, they can trouble any opponent. A 17-year winless run against Barcelona remains a negative statistic the squad aims to break, relying on strong character and home advantage in a derby where the odds can even out.
