Espanyol 1-2 Real Madrid result, stats and report

Racing Santander came from behind to beat Espanyol 2-1 at home in La Liga, with Yassir Zabiri scoring the winner six minutes from time to give the hosts a desperately needed victory. Espanyol's wastefulness in front of goal and a string of yellow cards told its own story.

Real Madrid have scored freely in the Champions League but cannot keep a clean sheet to save themselves. PSV arrive quietly, but they are not here to make up the numbers.

Athletic Club have drawn three of their last five La Liga matches and cannot afford another stalemate. Espanyol arrive with three losses in their last five and a defence that has been wide open.

Leaked Real Madrid team news confirms Denzel Dumfries will start at right-back ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold in Sunday's Clasico, with the former Liverpool star now rated third choice under Jose Mourinho. Liverpool, meanwhile, have no active plan to bring him home despite the slump.

José Mourinho's knee-slide celebration at Camp Nou capped a 2-0 Clásico win built on a Kylian Mbappé brace, turning a chaotic first 100 days back at Real Madrid into vindication while raising fresh questions about Barcelona's big-game fragility.

Kylian Mbappe's brace, including his 100th Real Madrid goal, sank Barcelona 2-1 at Camp Nou and ended their nine-game unbeaten run, pulling Jose Mourinho's side to within three points of the summit while extending his remarkable unbeaten Clasico record as Real boss.

Barcelona can set a new La Liga record with a 10th consecutive win to open a season when they host Real Madrid on Sunday, but Jose Mourinho arrives fresh off two 4-1 wins and declaring 'Madrid with Mourinho wins trophies'. Barca's defensive cracks, exposed by a 4-2 Champions League loss to PSG, make this far from a formality.

José Mourinho makes his first Clásico return as Real Madrid manager on Sunday, back at the Camp Nou where he began as Bobby Robson's translator before becoming Barcelona's fiercest rival. Three months into his second Madrid spell, his calmer public tone is undercut by the same calculated gamesmanship, including a press no-show designed to protect his touchline availability.
