Real Madrid vs. Espanyol: Your Complete Guide to Catching All the Action Live
Real Madrid seek to maintain their flawless beginning to the 2025–26 campaign as they welcome Espanyol for a La Liga encounter on Saturday.
The Whites have secured victories in all four of their initial fixtures while pursuing Barcelona's La Liga crown, and they also triumphed in their midweek Champions League debut. Although Dani Carvajal received a dismissal, Kylian Mbappé converted two spot-kicks to deliver a 2–1 league phase success against Roberto De Zerbi's Marseille.
Madrid will be absent Dean Huijsen following his disputed dismissal versus Real Sociedad in their previous outing, while they're also lacking crucial defenders Antonio Rüdiger and Trent Alexander-Arnold due to fitness concerns. This presents Espanyol with a potential opportunity.
Espanyol approach this encounter in excellent form having collected ten points from their initial four fixtures, including a season-opening triumph over Atlético Madrid. Nevertheless, Manolo González understands the magnitude of the challenge awaiting his team this weekend.
