The squad known as the ‘pericos’, where Luis García Fernández makes his first appearance as manager, faces a squad nicknamed the ‘lions’ who recently exited the Copa del Rey in the semifinals after a defeat to Osasuna.
Espanyol, now led by Luis García Fernández, opens the match on Holy Saturday in a clash against Athletic Bilbao. It is a test in which the blues and whites aim to return to the winning track against an emotionally unsettled opponent arriving off a Copa del Rey semifinal loss to Osasuna.

Espanyol has endured four straight La Liga defeats. This run has coincided with the absence of Diego Martínez from the bench and the appointment of Luis García, who arrives from Real Madrid C, a club in the RFEF’s Third Division, Group VII, which sits multiple tiers below La Liga. García has already had a hand in shaping the second team, steering them toward promotion campaigns in the lower divisions. In their most recent outing, his side hammered Trival Valderas Alcorcón 5-0. Now García makes his top-flight debut against Ernesto Valverde’s Athletic Bilbao.
