A wonderful stoppage-time free-kick from Daniele Verde salvaged a 1-1 draw for Real Valladolid on Friday, denying Espanyol top spot in La Liga heading into the weekend fixtures.
Espanyol took the lead in the first half thanks to a fine goal from Borja Iglesias and appeared on course for three points that would've seen them usurp Barcelona at the top of the pile. However, Verde produced a moment of genius in the 91st minute to level for the hosts, who are in sixth spot after a brilliant start of their own.
On Sunday, all eyes will be on the Camp Nou as Real Madrid's under-pressure coach Julen Lopetegui takes his team to Barcelona for a vital Clasico showdown.
