Espanyol's recent performance saw them take a surprising lead against Real Madrid, but they ultimately lost 4-1, conceding three goals in the final 15 minutes. Despite the setback, head coach Manolo González praised the team's character, especially as it was their first defeat in four matches (W2, D1).

Real Madrid come into this fixture unbeaten after five LaLiga games (W3, D2), but two draws have left them four points behind Barcelona. Despite the gap, their defense has been solid, with back-to-back 2-0 league wins, continuing a trend of winning by multi-goal margins without conceding. In midweek, they secured a 3-1 home victory over Stuttgart in the Champions League, and Madrid have shown no signs of slowing down in matches following European commitments, winning their last five such games—four of them without allowing a goal.
