‘When you play against these teams you know it’s a tough game. But we’re at home and we’re doing well,’ said the 23-year-old.

Joan Garcia recalls the first game when Espanyol fought well for almost an hour against Real Madrid. Taking the lead through an own goal by Thibaut Courtois in the 54th minute. But Los Blancos hit back with four goals from Daniel Carvajal (58th minute), Rodrygo Goes (75th minute), Vinicius Junior (78th minute) and Kylian Mbappe (penalty in the 90th minute).

‘In our first meeting this season, we played well for over 70 minutes. So it’s very important to be stronger at home.’

He ended by talking about Espanyol’s league situation. Which is 18th in the table after collecting only 20 points from 21 games. Saying: ‘We know that if we want to achieve our goals. We have to add more points than in the first half of the season. And We have to grow and do it our own way. I’m sure it will work out well.’
