It's derby time. This Espanyol v FC Barcelona matchday 36 fixture will mean the Liga title should the blaugranes win. Hansi Flick has called up 22 players to go and achieve that aim, with the significant late withdrawal of Ferran Torres, who has been operated on for appendicitis, although Pablo Torre has been passed fit and is back in the fold. Everyone is focused on getting the win in what is always a fiery encounter.
The squad list in full is Ter Stegen, Cubarsí, Balde, R. Araujo, Gavi, Pedri, Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Raphinha, Iñaki Peña, Pablo Torre, Christensen, Fermín, M. Casadó, Pau Víctor, Lamine Yamal, Olmo, F. De Jong, Eric, Szczęsny, H. Fort and Gerard Martín.
The countdown to a really important derby is already under way. Both the blue-and-whites and the blaugranes want to get the win, so it's likely to be one of those games in which passions run high.
