Real Madrid received five out of five? After already defeating Osasuna (1-0), Oviedo (3-0), Mallorca (2-1) and Real Sociedad (2-1) in the league, the Merengues will welcome Espanyol Barcelona on Saturday afternoon during the 5the Liga day. A second consecutive match in Santiago-Bernabeu for the Merengues who, Tuesday, also dominated OM in the Champions League (2-1).
This meeting should allow Xabi Alonso players to take their ease at the top of the ranking, but also to put pressure on their eternal Barcelona rivals, second to two lengths, which will face Getafe on Sunday evening. The only problem for Madrid, they approach this meeting with some absent size, especially in defense.
Camavong, the comeback?
Dean Huijsen was suspended for this match while Trent Alexander-Arnold and Antonio Rüdiger are injured. The good news on the other hand is that Eduardo Camavonga confirms his return in good shape. Absent since May 23, the French international midfielder (22 years old) actually appears in the group, as this week against Marseille.
If he did not go against the Olympians, Xabi Alonso could give him a little playing time against the Catalans to give him pace. Kylian Mbappé, not surprisingly, will also be there. The tricolor striker has been walking on the water since the recovery. After seven matches in all competitions, he already totals 8 goals and 2 assists. Impressive.
