It’s Barcelona Derby day! The capital of Catalonia stops tonight to watch the two biggest teams in the city go head to head for the first leg of their Copa del Rey quarterfinals matchup.
To be honest, calling Espanyol one of the “two biggest teams” in Catalonia is just doing them a favor. Espanyol are a small club that just happen to be in La Liga and like to kick the hell out of Barcelona players when they meet. Small club mentality, or whatever.
On Wednesday night they have the opportunity to play at home and try to get a draw or not to lose by a lot of goals, hoping to have some chance in the second leg at Camp Nou next week.
