La Liga 2025-26: Real Madrid Coach Arbeloa Plays Down Title Talk Ahead Of Espanyol Clash

By IANS News May 02, 2026 • 20:22 PM View: 103

Alvaro ArbeloaAlvaro Arbeloa: Real Madrid travel to play Espanyol on Sunday, knowing that defeat could spell the end of their slim title hopes and force the team to endure a potentially humiliating moment away to FC Barcelona at Camp Nou on May 10.

A Barcelona victory away to Osasuna on Saturday would mean that anything other than a Real Madrid win against Espanyol would hand Barcelona the La Liga title a week before hosting the El Clásico.

With the newly-crowned champion traditionally given a guard of honour by their next rival, that scenario would see Real Madrid players applauding Barcelona onto the pitch in front of a packed stadium--something no Real Madrid fan would want to see, reports Xinhua.
