Real Madrid v Espanyol Preview
Real Madrid got a great victory at Dortmund (1-3) in the Champions League waking up after a dubious start of the season. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice finding finally the net and Gareth Bale scored a great volley. However, the Welshman might miss this game because he left the pitch with some physical problems. Now they need to focus on La Liga to shorten the gap with FC Barcelona. Benzema, Marcelo, Theo and Kovacic are not available for the game.
Espanyol thrashed (4-1) Deportivo la Coruña at home in their last game in the competition, getting the second victory of the season. The Catalan club didn’t start very well and they were also thrashed at Camp Nou (5-0). Quique Sánchez Flores doesn’t have available Adri López and Jairo Morillas, whereas Javi López is doubtful.
