Real Madrid, Espanyol and Carlos Espi
Saturday
Real Madrid opened Jose Mourinho’s second spell with a 2-1 win at Espanyol after substitute Carlos Espi scored in the 90th minute. Jude Bellingham struck inside nine minutes before Alex Calatrava equalised for the hosts before half-time.
Madrid pushed for a winner throughout the second half and finally broke through after Kylian Mbappe lost possession inside the area, allowing Espi to finish the loose ball. The 21-year-old scored only ten minutes after entering as a substitute.
