A series of red cards affect Real Madrid, and will the best Espanyol in 30 years have a glimmer of hope?

Saturday 024 La Liga 5th round

[1] Real Madrid VS Espanyol [3]

Time: September 20 22:15

Recommended: Espanyol

away games, home games in the Champions League, and two consecutive games, Real Madrid received red cards. Wysen's red card was questioned by the whole world, but was recognized by the Spanish Football Association. After all, it was away games, and Carvajal's red card was at the Bernabeu, without any hope. After the last round of La Liga, Alonso publicly stated that Real Madrid will still have a situation where there are fewer people and more people this season, but he certainly did not expect that his words would be fulfilled in the Champions League so soon.

Although it is a Wednesday game, the best news for Real Madrid is that both the Champions League and tonight's league are home games, and they don't need to run around. Of course, in recent years, neither the Spanish Football Association nor the UEFA have allowed Real Madrid to suffer any good results. At the pre-match press conference in Spain on Friday local time, Espanyol captain Puado directly talked about the number of penalty kicks Real Madrid has won this season. Although Puado's answer was positive: "Because they (Real Madrid) have outstanding strength and a great offensive threat, this is normal." But in fact, this is a reporter digging a hole for Real Madrid, implying that the referee of the Spanish Football Association has given Real Madrid too many penalty kicks this season.

Of course, Real Madrid's most penalty kicks this season are also related to the team's playing style. Mbappe and Vinicius' explosive power at short distances is so terrifying that whenever their opponents dare to make moves in the penalty area, they are highly likely to cause fouls. If they don't make moves, they will be constantly attacked by these two top attackers. The goal of Gulaire's breaking Real Sociedad's goal in the last round came from Mbappe's unscrupulous breakthrough from the bottom line on the left. Real Sociedad defensive players dare not step on foot, so Mbappe was able to attract the opponent to pass the ball after double-teaming. Alonso's offensive design is also in line with his ideas for transforming Real Madrid's offensive tactics at this stage.

Wysen was suspended tonight, Rudiger was injured, and Real Madrid's central defender combination played the bright card again - Militon + Asensio. What they need to face is the Spaniard who has won the best start in La Liga in thirty years. In the first four rounds of the game, Espanyol won 3 wins and 1 draw, and is currently ranked third in La Liga with 10 points. To be honest, the Spanish scored 10 points with extremely high value. Although they had three home games in the first four rounds, they won all three games, with their opponents being Atletico Madrid, Osasuna and Mallorca, among which Mallorca is weaker. Atletico Madrid naturally needs no further. Osasuna is also a team of the European Union-level and Pan-Basque Country. It has a tough style and a solid piece of hard bones.

Does the Spaniard have the chance to score points in the Bernabeu, and the captain Puado still has good confidence. He said: "We had beaten them at our home court last year, and if we could play perfectly, we have a chance." However, looking at the performance of Espanyol at the Bernabeu, it is very likely that Puado's wish will not come true. In the past 10 years, Real Madrid beat Espanyol completely, with only one game with a net victory of less than 2 goals, while four games with a big win of three goals or more.

It is also because of this that major institutions have opened the index at Real Madrid's home court to give in 2.0, making full use of Real Madrid's historical record advantages, on the one hand, it has boosted Real Madrid's popularity, and on the other hand, it has perfectly controlled risks. Any time Real Madrid scores 2 goals, institutions can escape unscathed. However, in my opinion, Real Madrid may not be able to win this game completely. On the one hand, the team received red cards in two consecutive games, and the emotional fluctuations of midfield and backcourt players should not be underestimated.

On the other hand, although the Spaniards are not very willing to fight, a complete defeat is not conducive to the accumulation of confidence, and I am more optimistic about their small losses.
