Last season Espanyol managed to keep its place in the elite championship. Only a miracle saved the team from relegation, which was very unstable. For 38 stages the Catalans have chalked up 10 wins and 12 draws, which corresponds to 42 points and 14th final position. Weakly played today’s hosts in attack, where they differed 40 times. The performances of the “parrots” in the King’s Cup were unsuccessful, where the team lost to Mallorca already in the second stage, which sent the Catalans overboard the tournament. In the new season, the team was led by Diego Martinez. The debut of the “white-blues” under the leadership of the 41-year-old Spaniard brought an away draw with Celta (2:2). The second round brought a fiasco in a duel with Rayo Vallecano (2:2) and 16th place in the standings.
Last season Real Madrid delighted its fans in all competitions. The team played brilliantly in the Champions League, where the capital went through all stages, followed by defeating Liverpool in the final. This victory was the 14th in the main club tournament in the history of the team. In the Primera Liga Galacticos performed simply brilliantly and in 38 rounds scored 26 victories and eight peaceful outcomes, which corresponded to 86 points and the La Liga title. It is impossible not to recall the brilliant performance of the team in the attack line, where the team scored 80 times. Of the newcomers, it is impossible not to mention Orellana Chumeni. The capital paid 80 million euros for the Monaco midfielder. The start of the new football year was successful, ending in the success in the duel with Eintracht in the UEFA Super Cup and six points at the start of the Spanish championship. Today’s guests defeated Almeria (2:1) and Celta (4:1), which corresponds to six points and the first position. More today soccer fixtures and predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
