BARCELONA, Spain — Na so e be dis, my people! This weekend, we dey watch as Espanyol go face Real Madrid for La Liga, and this thing na serious matter. E no go just be any ordinary match, because na first place dem dey fight for, and everybody sabi say dem go do am big.
Espanyol wey don dey surprise everybody dis season don reach third position, just two points behind Madrid wey dey lead the table. If dem fit collect points for this match, and if Getafe fit help dem by taking at least one point from Barcelona, na dem go suddenly find demself at the top. (E be like say we dey watch film o!)
Real Madrid don dey carry everybody come on top, as dem don win all four matches wey dem play for La Liga dis season. Kylian Mbappé don dey shine like star, wey don show say him no dey joke around, scoring six goals in five matches. Na serious scoring machine! But the big question be, go e fit carry dem again this time?
Last season, Espanyol manage to comot Real Madrid hand by beating dem 1-0, so we no fit chop dem down, abeg. Coach Xabi Alonso sabi wetin him dey do, and e don talk say dem dey ready to flex. E don see as players dey gel well and dem wan maintain the momentum (E be likse say dem dey chop good food together o!).
Omo, no forget about the injuries wey dey hinder the Madrid squad, especially Trent Alexander-Arnold wey dey sit down collect treatment for sidelines. As things dey hot, Madrid no fit afford to slack, especially with the way things dey go for dis season.
On the flip side, Espanyol no dey play with small boys o! Dem just buy new players and dem dey make moves wey dey shock everybody (you fit call am underdog story if you like). And don’t forget the firepower wey dem get with Pere Milla wey don dey score goals anyhow.
All eyes go dey glued to Estadi Johan Cruyff dis Sunday. Dis match fit change everything, e go tell us who fit carry La Liga crown as we dey approach the fifth matchday. Make we find out together!
