To this end, Real Madrid has to beat Espanyol at the Olympic team coming off win at Camp Nou for the first time in who knows how many thousand years. Everyone knows that Espanyol are a team of Real Madrid no enemy, but when you're in the relegation zone and come to win the best team in league history, what you want is to continue the streak.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, comes with a punch in the face after conceding a goal in the 82nd minute in the first leg of the tie of round against Liverpool of Rafael Benitez, who is immersed in a small controversy over the firing of Rick Parry former sporting director of Anfield Road. The coach refused to say who or goodbye to Rick Parry and he did not renew.
