    Asensio is in behind but he runs the ball out of play.

    The teams are almost ready to walk out... Kickoff not far away now.

    It could be a long night for Espanyol if recent results are anything to go by...
  • PRVW
    So Real Madrid are playing without a recognised striker as Karim Benzema drops to the bench, with Gareth Bale looking like he will play centrally as a false nine.
  • PRVW
    Real Madrid XI: Navas, Nacho, Varane, Ramos, Achraf, Llorente, Kovacic, Isco, Asensio, Vazquez, Bale
  • PRVW
    Espanyol XI: Lopez, Navarro, Aaron, Victor, Duarte, Gerard, Sanchez, Garcia, Lopez, Piatti, Darder
