Xavi Hernández’s side faces their longtime rival in a high-stakes clash.
A fast-paced Catalan derby unfolds this Sunday at the RCDE Stadium, a venue where Espanyol and Barcelona square off in a match that goes beyond three points. The atmosphere is charged as both clubs look to shape the momentum of the season in front of their home fans.

One question looms: can Barcelona clinch the national title on derby day, right in their archrival’s turf? It’s possible they could lift the trophy even before stepping on the field, should results elsewhere favor them and their closest rivals stumble. If Barcelona prevail, Xavi Hernández’s squad will still need to win the derby against Espanyol, who arrive at this meeting in a fragile league position.
Espanyol’s precarious position
Espanyol, managed by Luis García, sit near the relegation zone with 31 points. At kickoff, they sat just three points above the relegation line, and a defeat in this derby could widen the gap and heighten the urgency around their remaining fixtures.
