A triumph that goes beyond the points
The recent victory of Espanyol against Getafe not only adds three points to his account, but also represents a great step towards salvation in the competition. With a total of 38 points in 31 games, the white-and-blue team is close to guaranteeing its continuity in the First Division. The tireless work of coach Manolo González has been essential, showing that it is possible to extract the maximum performance from a workforce that, at first, seemed limited.
A 2025 that makes the difference
Getafe’s Marash Kumbulla’s goal was the last success of an impressive rate for Espanyol this year. After passing through difficult times and being in the relegation positions, the team has changed course after the Christmas holidays. Reflection and determination have been key to reorienting the season, with the team firmly believing in the vision of their coach. Historically, González has shown to be an expert in making his teams shine in the second part of the season, and this year it has not been an exception, with only two defeats in all 2025.
The secrets of recovery
The key to the Spanish comeback lies in a solid defense that has allowed the goalkeeper Joan to keep the goal at zero on several occasions. At the age of 23, Garcia has become one of the most promising goalkeepers in Europe, acting as a true savior for the team. In addition, the recovery of Edu Expósito has brought stability and creativity in the middle of the field, while the recent signing of Roberto Fernández has been a success. The striker, who arrived from the Braga Sporting, has scored five crucial goals, including two against Celta, who were decisive in adding points.
Road to the First Division
With the defensive solidity, a half of the combative field and the goals of Puado and Roberto, Espanyol is one step away from celebrating their return to the first division. The transformation that the team has undergone under the direction of Manolo González is worth admiring, and his ability to overcome adversity positions them as a training in the league. Optimism is palpable between fans and players, with the gaze on a promising future.
