Match31 Oct 2026

No end in sight to Espanyol's wait for a win

11 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Espanyol has to find a result from somewhere.

Match31 Oct 2026

Nowhere to hide for Espanyol

1‑6 against Athletic Bilbao, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Up for the corner, and Pol Lozano delivers — 7.97

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Pol Lozano scored, was marked 7.97, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Market2 Nov 2026

Edu Expósito raises the bar for Espanyol

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Espanyol heard it as anything else.

Match31 Oct 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Espanyol and Athletic Bilbao in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A day to forget for Marko Dmitrović

Beaten 6 times, 3 saves, and an afternoon that will go on his record whether it was his fault or the defence’s. It is the quiet unfairness of the position.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026

Nobody left the Espanyol dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑6 Héctor Ortega left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Andoni Gorosabel

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Andoni Gorosabel, and the manager let it.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

$22.5M settles it between the clubs for Dean Huijsen

Real Madrid have accepted the money. What Espanyol do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Door shut on Sergi Darder

Espanyol asked and Mallorca said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Espanyol

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Leandro Cabrera in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Espanyol this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market17 Aug 2026

Espanyol promote Alberto Álvarez from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Alberto Álvarez has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market17 Aug 2026

Mario Sánchez steps up from the Espanyol academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mario Sánchez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market17 Aug 2026

Espanyol promote Felipe Ramírez from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Felipe Ramírez has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Enrique Medina joins the Espanyol first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Enrique Medina is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

No investment in the facilities at Espanyol

Nothing about this will be in a press release. A plan went upstairs, came back rejected, and the version of the club that would have existed in three years' time just quietly stopped being possible.
