Its Derby time . This will be the last meeting between the two sides in this season. Barcelona and Espanyol have already faced each other three times and Espanyol are the only team to upset Barcelona this season.
Barcelona Manager Ernesto Valverde told his club’s official website: “After the last two games in such a short amount of time I don’t think there will be many surprises. They will play with enthusiasm, pressure and they will try and repeat their result in the first leg of the Copa.” Espanyol fans would be on their toes and would love to see their team put an end to the Barca’s unbeaten league run. The conflict between Barca players and Espanyol fans will definitely heat up this fixture.
He added: “I don’t want to relax because of the lead we have. Thinking about it might lead to making mistakes and there are lots of points still to play for. Our intention is to win tomorrow and get another three points.”
The link up between Messi and Coutinho is getting better day by day and its really scintillating to watch. Barca would definitely start with a best squad possible to grab the three points.

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Genuinely rarely should i encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you may have hit the nail about the head. Your idea is outstanding; the problem is an element that insufficient persons are speaking intelligently about. I am delighted we came across this during my look for something with this.
I must say, as a lot as I enjoyed reading what you had to say, I couldnt help but lose interest after a while.
