ESPANYOL NEWS

After a fantastic start of the season, Espanyol fans were dreaming about Europa League. Now, they only want to avoid the battle against relegation. In only two months, Espanyol dropped from the top four into the abyss. It is hard to explain what happened to them, but one thing is clear - Espanyol must win the match against Leganes, or they will be in a very hard situation. If they beat them, they would be eight points clear off the relegation zone, so they would buy a much needed peace.
