Real Madrid Encara Espanyol em LaLiga com Pressão por Título O Real Madrid entra em campo neste domingo (3), às 16h (de Brasília), para enfrentar o Espanyol no RCDE Stadium, pela 34ª rodada da LaLiga. O time, que ocupa o segundo lugar com 74 pontos, precisa vencer para evitar que o Barcelona confirme o título com antecedência. Um resultado negativo poderia encerrar a disputa pelo campeonato já nesta rodada, já que o Barcelona lidera a tabela. A equipe de Álvaro Arbeloa enfrenta desafios após um novo tropeço no Campeonato Espanhol. O Espanyol, que vive uma longa sequência sem vitórias em 2026, busca aproveitar o mando de campo e a instabilidade do rival para surpreender. Lesões e ausências no Real Madrid O Real Madrid terá uma equipe com poucas opções devido a lesões e desfalques. Mbappé está fora com um problema muscular e não foi liberado pelo departamento médico. Rodrygo, com uma lesão no joelho, também não joga. Courtois continua em recuperação de uma lesão na coxa, enquanto Militão passou por cirurgia após um problema muscular na coxa esquerda. Arda Güler, com dores musculares, também é um desfalque. Além dos lesionados, Dani Ceballos foi afastado do grupo principal após pedir para se afastar do treinador, segundo a imprensa espanhola. A diretoria do clube respaldou a decisão da comissão técnica, e o jogador não deve retornar nesta reta final de temporada. Carvajal, com uma fratura no pé, também desfalca o time. Tchouaméni é dúvida por desgaste físico, mas deve ser relacionado. Vinícius Júnior será a principal referência ofensiva do Real Madrid diante do Espanyol. Gonzalo García ganha espaço entre os titulares, enquanto Brahim Díaz surge como opção para dar mobilidade ao ataque. No meio-campo, Bellingham e Valverde seguem como pilares da equipe, enquanto Camavinga aparece como favorito para completar o setor.#la_liga #real_madrid #alvaro_arbeloa #espanyol #rcde_stadium
Espanyol Coach Vows to Win, Not Settle for Draw Ahead of Rayo Vallecano Clash Cornellà de Llobregat, Barcelona — April 22, 2026 — Espanyol head coach Manolo González reiterated his commitment to securing a victory over Rayo Vallecano in their upcoming La Liga match, dismissing the idea of settling for a draw. Speaking during a press conference at the RCDE Stadium, González emphasized that his focus remains solely on winning, stating, “I don’t sign for a draw, I sign for winning, as always.” The match, set for Thursday, marks a critical moment in the season as Espanyol aim to avoid relegation. González highlighted the importance of every remaining fixture, noting that the team’s mindset is entirely centered on the Rayo Vallecano encounter. “We have to think about the first match. It sets the tone for what comes next. Winning means you’re saved, and then you fight for other things,” he explained. The coach stressed that the team will approach the game with maximum intensity, describing the clash as “complicated” and “demanding.” He warned that competing at the highest level will be essential to secure the three points. Reflecting on their previous 0-4 defeat at Vallecas, González acknowledged the match was “exceptional” but cautioned against drawing direct comparisons. “If the difference between one week and the next is significant, imagine the gap between seasons. It’s entirely different,” he said, underscoring the need for adaptation as the season progresses. The coach also addressed the fitness status of Uruguay international Leandro Cabrera, who is dealing with a minor aductor injury. While Cabrera’s availability remains uncertain, González expressed hope he will be fit to play.#rayo_vallecano #espanyol #rcde_stadium #manolo_gonzalez #leandro_cabrera
