Real Madrid will look to cement its place at the top of Spain’s La Liga today as it hosts an improving Espanyol team. Los Blancos came through a tricky opening Champions League test at home to French team Olympique de Marseille in midweek with a 2-1 win, extending a perfect start to the new season to six straight victories across all competitions.Â
On Sunday, Real returns to domestic matters with a matchup against an Espanyol team that appears to have improved significantly since last season’s flirtation with relegation. Manolo González’s men have taken maximum points from their three league games so far this term.
