Espanyol vs Barcelona
Barcelona was unusually silent before the break, surviving two major wounds one night when only the victory would have sealed the title of the Liga at the RCDE stadium.
Espanyol has shown their fast-attack capacities rapid four minutes when Roberto Fernandez put on Urko Gonzalez by the goal for the recipient to roll a closely wide finish.
The goalkeeper visiting Wojciech Szczesny then made an excellent backup at full trunction to turn the shot from Javi Puado behind after the attacker broke out through the middle.
Objective Yamal vs Espanyol
Barcelona scored 96 league goals this season and appreciated the vast majority of possession, but could only produce a solitary target attempt during the first half, while Espanyol, which are not mathematically clear of relegation, found space to attack with the opposition territory with ease, threatening several times while not making the most inviting possibilities.
In the absence of the central defender suspended Inigo Martinez, Barça aligned an unknown back from Eric Garcia, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen and Gerard Martin as part of a vulnerable defensive exhibition.

Barça seemed to be transformed after Martin was replaced by Alejandro Balde at halftime, although manager Hansi Flick was forced to make a less voluntary substitution six minutes after restart when Araujo seemed to support a blow, Pau Cubarsi arriving.
Any concern that Flick could have had on his defense was forgotten shortly after when Yamal, who was not 18 years before July, highlighted a tight position while climbing on his left and scoring a goal worthy of deciding on a title.
The replacement Lopez then shot in a divert effort just inside the box after being launched by Yamal, which has 17 goals and 24 assists in all competitions in 2024/25.
