In nature, the wolves only prey upon the weak. Espanyol is a decent team, but they are currently languishing in the relegation zone of the La Liga standings. The Wolves sensed blood because Wolverhampton Wanderers defeated Espanyol 4-0 in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League Knockout Round of 32 at home.
The Wolves pounced onto an early lead when Diogo Jota scored in the 15th minute off of a deflection from a corner kick. The score stayed 1-0 at halftime despite both teams having good chances.
Wolverhampton turned up the pressure in the second half when Ruben Neves hit a wonderful curler from about 20 yards out in the 52nd minute. After that goal, Jota went on to score two more goals for the hat trick and to give the Wolves a 4-0 victory.
Espanyol can descend this year. It will be very sad for the city of Barcelona.
It’s sort of weird that Espanyol could not add some more players after they made the Europa League. I guess everyone wants to play for Barcelona though
They are bitter rivals. Espanyol fans do hate Barcelona and Piqué for instance, they always make fun of Piqué´s family: his daughters and wife Shakira. Piqué says he has more money than the entire budget of Espanyol.
Pique is the man. Arsenal messed up when they let him go to Barcelona. He was not even starting on Arsenal, but he is one of the best defenders of all time
Piqué was playing for Manchester United. Barcelona let him go when he was very young. Piqué was playing in Zaragoza and Alex Ferguson signed him but he was usually on the bench in Manchester. Then he allowed him to go to Barcelona and is one of the best defenders in the world, he played an incredible game yesterday in Madrid. Manchester United lost one of the best defenders in football history. Real Madrid had a lot of luck yesterday. Madrid won 2-0. Espanyol and Atlético ended their game 1-1, people from Espanyol think they are going to be in the second division next season but the Chinese owner will keep giving money to the club.
Espanyol is in a difficult position on all fronts, dear friend
Yes, they really are. They should rest players when they play Wolves next week and try to get out of relegation in La Liga. They have two months to get out of the bottom of La Liga
With the form they have now, they will have a hard time getting rid of Laliga
Enjoy the games my friend.
Yup, I enjoyed this one yesterday
