Follow live all the details of the Catalan derby taking place at Camp Nou
Fútbol Club Barcelona returns to the competition this Saturday in the Barça team’s first league game after the break for the World Cup in Qatar.

ALL THE DETAILS OF THE DERBI BARCELONA VS. SPANISH OF LALIGA 2022-2023
The team of Xavi Hernández hosts Real Club Deportivo Espanyol at Camp Nou in the first derby of the season. The parakeets team come into this sixteenth game with 12 points, just one above relegation, so they can’t reach their big rival’s stadium with any idea other than to try something positive.
For this derby, Barça will ultimately be able to count on its best footballer: Robert Lewandowski. The Pole was sent off in the last league game against Osasuna, but he received the precaution this week and will be available for Xavi Hernández. Faced with this decision by the Controversial Central Court of Madrid, Espanyol has issued several statements of protest and will not have any institutional representation at the Barça stadium.
