Real Madrid continue their marathon of matches after the international break and tonight they host Espanyol at the Bernabéu, for the sixth day of La Liga (9pm). Ancelotti’s men want to give continuity to a demanding month of September in which they have so far won their first three matches (Betis, Real Sociedad And Stuttgart), while they still have two more league games to play against Alavés at home and Atlético Madrid away.
The aim is to extend the good results achieved so far. Our team, which has won its three games this season at the Bernabéu, is still unbeaten in seven official matches played, having scored at least one goal in each. In the league, it has gone 37 matches without knowing the taste of defeat.

“We are entering a good dynamic,” assured Ancelotti in press conference pre-match. In the list of players called up of our team, which is one of the four undefeated in this edition (Barcelona, Atlético and Villarreal, in addition), Mbappé is well represented. The Frenchman has scored in the last three games of our team, for a total of four goals. He even has five, with his goal against Atalanta in the European Super Cup.
Espanyol’s strengths
The Catalan team, who returned to the first division this year, enter this sixth day of La Liga in the middle of the table and in great form. They arrive at the Santiago Bernabéu after taking seven points from the last three games, with a draw at the Metropolitano and victories against Rayo (2-1) and Alavés (3-2). Their top scorer is Javi Puado with three goals, all on the last day.
