The most anticipated derby of the Spanish league.
RCD Espanyol hosted their biggest Catalan rivals, FC Barcelona, at the RCDE Stadium for the most anticipated derby of the Spanish league.
A crucial victory for Barça, who earned three important points against a strong opponent and maintained their lead in the standings with a four-point advantage over second place.
The Pericos kept the score at 0-0 until the final minutes, displaying a balanced attack and defense to contain the Blaugrana.
Dani Olmo opened the scoring with a masterful goal after an assist from Fermín López; striker Tito Lewandowski also added to the tally to seal the victory with a two-goal advantage.
The Catalan derby, marked by the return of goalkeeper Joan García against his former team and receiving thousands of insults and chants from the Espanyol fans, showed the great level of the Barça goalkeeper, who used these offenses as fuel to keep his goal clean and make great saves to secure the victory and end up as the MVP of the match.
