Real Madrid is off and running to kick off its 2025-’26 campaign with a 4-0-0 start in LaLiga action to pace the league with 12 points, while rival Barcelona and Saturday opponent Espanyol are both 3-1-0 and two points back.

The only flaw on Espanyol’s ledger to this point is a disappointing 2-2 draw with winless Real Sociedad (0-1-3) in the club’s second match of the season. Since then, Espanyol has logged wins over Osasuna (1-0) and 19th-place Mallorca (3-2).
