In a crucial La Liga clash at the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium, Real Madrid CF host RCD Espanyol de Barcelona in a battle for vital top-four points. Fresh off a 3-1 win against Barcelona in El Clásico, Los Blancos aim to build momentum, but Espanyol will look to capitalize on Zinedine Zidane's side's recent struggles against Catalan opponents. An in-form Gerard Moreno will be a key target for Espanyol, but Real's Ferland Mendy and Vinicius Junior will be tasked with halting him.
