Pedri scored the 1-0 of Barcelona over Espanyol for LaLiga Santander | VIDEO

Barcelona is looking for a victory over Espanyol to stay at the top of the LaLiga Santander table and, so far, it is achieving it. The azulgrana team won 1-0 at the RCDE Stadium in the opening minutes.

At 2′, the defenders of the local squad lost the ball and Jordi Alba found it to send a filtered pass into the area. So, Pedri scored the big pass.

It is important to mention that Barcelona came to this game after beating Atlético Madrid 4-2 on the recent day, while Espanyol lost (2-1) against Athletic Bilbao.

Barcelona vs. Spanish: previous

Barcelona will not be able to count on Dani Alves for this match. The right-back was sent off against Atlético de Madrid and was punished with two games, according to the Federation’s decision.

In this sense, Xavi will use Sergiño Dest to cover that strip. Later, Adama Traoré trained with the rest of the group and, despite doubts the day before, he can start with Gavi, Pedri and Ferran Torres in attack.

On his side, Espanyol wants to get out of the bad moment and trusts his scorer: Raúl de Tomás. In fact, in the prelude, coach Vicente Moreno commented on the attacker that he “was left wanting to score in the first round. I notice it in his look that he will remove the thorn ”.
