RCD ESPANYOL
Espanyol
Club History
Founded in 1900, Espanyol are Barcelona's "other" club. Though overshadowed by their neighbours, they have their own proud history — four Copa del Rey titles and a UEFA Cup final appearance in 2006-07.
The "Catalan Derby" against Barcelona is when Espanyol's local identity shines brightest. Against FC Barcelona's global brand, Espanyol pride themselves on being the community's club.
Manolo Gonzalez Continues
Appointed in March 2024, Manolo Gonzalez guided the team to last-day survival and was rewarded with a contract extension until 2027. He won the La Liga Manager of the Month award in April 2025, recognition of his ability to extract results from modest resources.
