Watch FC Barcelona Vs. RCD Espanyol Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, Watch La Liga Catalan Derby Online

FC Barcelona is looking more and more like they have the 2018-2019 La Liga title wrapped up, while Saturday’s opponents, RCD Espanyol, are safely ensconced mid-table in 13th place, nine points above the relegation zone, but six short of the final European slot with just 10 games remaining in the season, per Sky Sports. But even with not much to play for on the Spanish top flight table, the Catalan Derby is always a meaningful game, and in this, the 210th edition, Espanyol will look for some measure or revenge for a 4-0 drubbing by their crosstown rivals in December, while the far more successful FC Barcelona will be aiming for their 123rd win against just 44 losses and 43 draws in the derby fixture, which dates back to 1907. The first Catalan Derby of 2019 will live stream on Saturday from the Camp Nou.

The rivalry of late has been a one-sided one, and rarely have the games been especially meaningful outside of the rival Catalan supporters’ groups. But historically, the two teams could not have been more different, sharing little other than a city, according to Barca Blaugranes. FC Barcelona was founded by a Swiss university student and originally reflected the expatriate community and cosmopolitan side of the Catalan capital.

Espanyol, on the other hand, was founded and stocked largely with locals, drawn from the working class and migrant worker sectors of Barcelona. During the fascist regime of Francisco Franco, which endured from 1939 to 1975, Espanyol and the club’s supporters aligned themselves with the military dictator. The club also has the patronage of Spain’s royal family. But the FC Barcelona club and its fans have long represented Catalonia’s opposition to the Spanish central authority, adding a heated feeling to the derby, even if the more famous Barcelona club has dominated on the pitch.
