Staring down a trophyless season, Real Madrid travel to Catalonia to face Espanyol on Sunday night, needing a win to keep their slim La Liga title hopes alive.
Los Blancos will hope that May brings better results than April, a month where they won just once in six games to exit the Champions League and fall 11 points back of Barcelona in La Liga. Following a dramatic 1–1 draw away at Real Betis last time out, Álvaro Arbeloa’s men need to win their remaining five games and hope for a major Blaugrana collapse.
