Real Madrid make the trip to Espanyol knowing that nothing but a win is good enough to prevent Barcelona from winning the La Liga title.
Los Blancos are 14 points behind their fierce Catalan rivals, and a loss today will confirm back-to-back titles for Hansi Flick’s side.
Even a win only reduces the gap back down to 11, but Alvaro Arbeloa will not accept anything less than three points from his side.
