Barcelona have dominated the Catalan derby against Espanyol for over a decade but came perilously close to suffering a defeat to their closest rivals on Sunday night at the RCDE Stadium.
Los Periquitos were 2-1 up with 95 minutes on the clock when Luuk de Jong popped up to head an equalizer, break home supporters’ hearts, and deny Espanyol a first La Liga victory over Barca since all the way back in 2009.
The draw also means Espanyol have still never beaten Barca at the RCDE Stadium in the league, while Opta have highlighted just how impressive the run of derby results is for the Camp Nou side.
