Hello and welcome to our FC Barcelona vs Espanyol live blog as both the Catalan clubs look for bragging rights in the round 31 game of La Liga 2025-26 at the iconic Camp Nou in Barcelona.
Barcelona are coming into this game after an agonizing 0-2 defeat at the hands of Atletico Madrid in the Champions League Quarter-Final first leg. However in the domestic league, after Real Madrid's draw against Girona, they are now seven points clear at the top of the La Liga points table.
On the other hand Espanyol has had a forgettable 2026 as they have lost as many as thirteen games played so far this year. So to remain in the competition for a European spot, Espanyol would not mind upsetting the current table toppers, which they have not done in the last 29 league games against their neighbours.
