By taming his great Madrid rival
After a rain of goals that will remain in the memories (3-4)FC Barcelona had already taken a big step towards the title of champion of Spain. Two years after its last coronation, the Catalan club recovers its crown. But Hansi Flick's men still have to finish the job.

Fifteenth of the Spanish championship, Espanyol, which remains on three consecutive defeats, will find it difficult to resist the virtuoso blaugrana, even if a surprise is still possible …
The expected compositions:
Espanyol : Garcia; El Hilali, Kumbulla, Cabrera, Romero; Exposito, Gonzalez, Lozano; Jofre, Puado, Roberto.
Barcelona : SZCZESNY; Garcia, Christensen, Cubarsi, Balde; Pedri, de Jong; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Torres.
