Real Madrid has been under pressure to respond after Atlético de Madrid won earlier on Saturday, but the victory in his match against Espanyol seems to be lost, having been left behind in the final stages in the front stadium of the stage.
The hosts have had to stand firm to deny Real Madrid, which has not had many clear opportunities, and also lost Antonio Rudiger at the beginning of injury. Joan García has been in full way in the objectives, and his efforts seem to help Espanyol a memorable result.
A quick counterattack saw Antoniu Roca play the ball par, Omar the Hilali picked up in the overlap and his deep cross was fly in the back post for his opposite support, Carlos Romero.

It is a clinical movement of Espanyol, and are now on the cusp of a sensational victory. However, they can be considered lucky that Romero is even in the field, since he escaped a red card for a wide challenge about Kylian Mbappe at the beginning of the first half. However, they will not care if they endure.
