Looking to continue strong start to LaLiga
Real Madrid visit Espanyol on matchday three in the league (10:00pm CEST).
Real Madrid head to the RCDE Stadium tonight on LaLiga matchday three 10:00pm CEST. Ancelotti's team have kicked off the competition in positive fashion and will be hoping to record a third win on the bounce against Espanyol this evening to maintain their unbeaten start.
Our boys have shown real attacking prowess early on and will look to continue their impressive form in front of goal. Madrid are the league's top scorers after two games, having netted six times already. This is their last game on the road before the team makes their Santiago Bernabéu debut for the season against Betis on 3 September.

“We're ready and in good shape", said Carlo Ancelotti in the pre-match press conference. The Italian will take charge of his first game since being named Coach of the Year at the UEFA gala on Thursday, where Benzema also scooped the Men's Player of the Year award. The French forward was on the score sheet last time the team met Espanyol, the game which sealed 35th LaLiga title.
