José Mourinho returns to Real Madrid. Can he inject some life in the club’s veins after two trophy-less seasons?
Espanyol predicted XI: Dmitrovic; El Hilali, Riedel, Unai Núlez, Hinojo; Urko, Edu Expósito; Calatrava, Javier Hernández, Dolan; Roberto.
Real Madrid predicted XI: Coutois; Trent, Konaté, Huijsen, Carreras; Valverde, Bernardo Silva; Brahim, Güler, Vinicius; Mbappé.
Players like Cucurella, Bellingham or Diomandé still need to improve their conditioning since they only played one preseason friendly, so this could be a good opportunity for Mourinho to reward Carreras, Güler and Brahim after their quality performances during the summer.
