Real Madrid, in view of FC Barcelona’s victory on Saturday at Osasuna (1-2), no longer has a choice: if it still wants to have a tiny hope of a title, it must win this Sunday evening on the lawn of Espanyol Barcelona. If he does not win, then the Merengue club will crown their long-time rival, who will receive them next Sunday at the Camp Nou (9 p.m.).
Espanyol Barcelona, which can still hold on to Europe and is looking to win its first match in 2026, opted for classic. Marko Dmitrović will keep the goals with a four-man defense in front of him: El Hilali, Calero, Cabrera, and Carlos Romero. In the middle, Urko González and Terrats will form the double pivot and will play while in front of Rubén Sánchez, Edu Exposito and Dolan will lead the attack, supporting Roberto Fernandez.
Opposite, Real Madrid, deprived of many executives including Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militão, Arda Güler or Kylian Mbappé, will make do with the means at hand. In the goals place Andriy Lunin, who will have in front of him a four-man defense formed by Trent Alexander-Arnold, Antonio Rüdiger, Dean Huijsen and Ferland Mendy. In the midfield Federico Valverde, Jude Bellingham, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Thiago Pitarch will try to liven up the midfield. Up front, place for the Brahim Diaz-Vinicius duo.
