Preview: Espanyol vs Barcelona

Barcelona visit the RCDE Stadium to face Espanyol with the LaLiga virtually sealed. Hansi Flick’s side are seven points clear of Real Madrid, and there are only three games left. If they win this Catalan derby and Real Madrid drop points in the next game, then they could secure the title early. The Blaugranas arrive in a confident mood after a solid run, although they have suffered a recent setback with their loss in the second leg of the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League against Inter Milan. Espanyol, on the other hand, are experiencing a more unsettled end to the season, with 39 points after 35 games.

The atmosphere will be tense, not because of the title, but because of the local derby. Espanyol need to win to stay clear of relegation. Their performance has improved slightly, but they are still fragile in defence and are losing games. Facing them will be a more serene Barca, who want to close the season strongly. Pedri and Lamine Yamal will be the key for them again in this game. The home side will be looking to take advantage of any relaxation on the part of Barcelona. However, the difference in level is clear. Flick will not want his team to lose concentration. An away win would not only close out the league, but it would be a big feather in the manager’s cap in the very first season. Espanyol: Jose Gregera and Brian Olivan are expected to miss this game with injuries. Barcelona: Jules Kounde, Marc Bernal, and Pablo Torre will be sidelined from this game with injuries.
