This Saturday, April 11, Barcelona will face Espanyol at Camp Nou in a new chapter of the Catalan derby. This match corresponds to matchday 31 of LaLiga 2025-26 and is crucial for the Blaugrana, who are looking to consolidate their leadership in the Spanish tournament. The team managed by Hansi Flick comes off a 2-1 victory against Atlético de Madrid, maintaining their position as the sole leader of the competition. Since February, Barcelona has not known defeat in the league, giving them a psychological advantage heading into this match. However, they will face the challenge without several key players, such as Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen, and Raphinha, who are still recovering from injuries.
On the other hand, Espanyol is going through a tough time, with 13 consecutive matches without a win in LaLiga. Expectations are high, and the crowd anticipates an exciting match. The kickoff is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. in Peru, and it will be broadcasted via DirecTV in South America and the DGO app, as detailed in the schedule guide for each country.
