Real Madrid
After dropping two points in a goalless draw with Villarreal, Real Madrid will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Espanyol on Matchday 8. Los Blancos are leading the chase for the La Liga trophy, and they are seen as hot favourites to beat Espanyol in Barcelona. Summer signing Camavinga is pushing for a start, while all Carvajal, Ceballos, Marcelo, and Mendy are sidelined with injuries. Gareth Bale should play some part in Sunday’s clash after recovering from a thigh injury.
Los Periquitos, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss at Sevilla, and seeing that Real Madrid are eager to return to winning ways, away win should be considered. You should bear in mind that Carlo Ancelotti’s men are eyeing their fifth consecutive win over the Catalan outfit. All Fernando Calero, Javi Puado, and Yangel Herrera miss out with injuries for the hosts.
Highlighted Player (Diego Lopez):
Diego Lopez is a Spanish goalkeeper who plays for Milan in the Serie A. Lopez was born in Paradela on 3 November, 1981 and he played for Lugo during his youth career. He made two appearances for Lugo at senior level as well, but in 2000 he joined Real Madrid.
The 196-cm-tall shoot-stopper played for both Real Madrid C and Real Madrid B and he made just two appearances for the first team during his first spell at Real Madrid. After spending five seasons at Villarreal (2007-2012) the Spanish goalkeeper played for Sevilla in the 2012/2013 La Liga campaign, but he made no more than eight league appearances for los Sevillanos.
He returned to Real Madrid on January, 2013 and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular, replacing Iker Casillas in the starting XI. However, Real Madrid fans wanted to see Iker between the posts and, as a result, Diego Lopez was forced to join Milan in 2014. Lopez has only one cap for Spain national team.
Highlighted Team (Real Madrid):
Real Madrid is a Spanish football club based in Madrid. Real Madrid participate in La Liga (Primera Division) and they have won 32 domestic titles. On the other hand, los Blancos have won 13 European Cup titles and that is the main reason why they are considered the biggest football club in the world.
Real Madrid play their home matches at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and the capacity of the stadium is 84,454. Cristiano Ronaldo is the club’s most successful footballer in the 21st century and the Portuguese superstar has won two Golden Ball awards.
The likes of Alfredo Di Stefano, Zinedine Zidane, Raul Gonzalez Blanco, David Beckham and Iker Casillas are star players who were part of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu outfit in the past. Real Madrid’s bitterest rivals are Barcelona, but the rivalry between local rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is big as well. Real Madrid’s home kit is white and, as a result, the team’s nickname is los Blancos (the Whites).
