2. History

2.1. Foundation and club culture

Espanyol was established on the 28th of October, 1900 in the name of Angel Rodriguez Ruiz (1879-1959) engineer in the University of Barcelona. The first home of the club was located in the well-off area in Sarria; Espanyol was the first club in Spain to be founded solely by Spanish fans of football and the other clubs having connections with Britain and central Europe.

The team initially used bright yellow shirts and the color of the shorts going to the player. The friend of the club's founder ran a textile company and was fortunate enough to have an abundance of yellow materials leftover from a job. In 1910 the club was renamed it's current name, the Club Deportivo Espanol and chose white and blue stripes for colors for the shirt and for the primary colors of the badge. Blue and white were selected to pay homage to the colors that were used in the emblem of legendary Aragonese-Sicilian Admiral Roger de Lluria, who was a navigator in across the Mediterranean safeguarding those interests of the Crown of Aragon during the Middle Ages. The club had success from the beginning and won the first Campionat de Catalunya in 1903 and then participating in the beginning Copa del Rey in 1903.

In 1906, Club Espanol de Football had to stop its operations because of the lack of players as the majority of them were students who were enrolled at universities in other regions of Catalonia. X Sporting Club took advantage of this because a majority members of remaining Espanol players were recruited by them, which resulted in an enormous leap in the standard for their team. consequently it was the X were crowned their Catalan champion three times in 1905-1908. They beat rivals from FC Internacional and FC Barcelona in the race to win the title. The team was legendary and featured players like Pedro Gibert, Jose Irizar and Santiago Massana. It wasn't until the year 1909, that X as well as Espanol were again restructured in 1909, when a group of former students from the university were brought back in Barcelona with the intention of re-establishing Club Espanol de Football, which was achieved on the 27th of December 1908 the day X joined into the Spanish Jiu-Jitsu Club.

In the decade of 1910 They won the Campionat of Catalunya three times in 1911-12 as well as 1914-15 and 1917-18. being able to win the final three times due to their backline, led by Ricardo Zamora. They also made it to in the last four of Copa del Rey twice in 1911 and 1915, however, they fell to Athletic Bilbao on both occasions.

Milan, Inter Milan, TJ Vitkovice and Club Brugge KV to reach the final. They lost by penalty in the final to Bayer 04 Leverkusen after a 3-3 draw. Two relegations followed. However, the club continued to play within La Liga from winning the 1993-94 Segunda Division until relegated at the end of 2019-20 COVID year. COVID is a pandemic that has affected the season.

Six years later under Miguel Angel Lotina, the team won another time in the final, this time with 4-1 victory over Real Zaragoza in Madrid, with goals from Raul Tamudo and Luis Garcia (two) and Coro.

In the final, played on the 16th of May on the 16th of May at Hampden Park in Glasgow, Espanyol was defeated by the fellow La Liga team Sevilla and lost to 3-1 after a shootout after the draw of 2-2. They became the sole soccer team from UEFA Cup history to remain unbeaten during the tournament, but still they did not claim the trophy. Walter Pandiani, who would quit the club at the conclusion of the season was the most prolific UEFA Cup goalscorer during the season.

After the move, the club's legend Raul Tamudo was the only player to have the characteristic of playing at three different stadiums in his time with the Club: Sarria, Montjuic and starting in the 2009-2010 season the Cornella-El Prat.

2.3. Recent years (2009–present)

In January 2009 the the former Espanyol defensive player Mauricio Pochettino took over as manager of the club that was which was operating in the bottom of the table. This was his first job as a manager in the senior league. He beat the rivals Barcelona on the Camp Nou in February to aid in keeping the club going; Barcelona, under Pep Guardiola was able to win the treble the following season.

After 12 seasons on the Estadi Olimpic de Montjuic, Espanyol was moved into their new stadium, the Estadi of Cornella and El Prat. The new stadium officially opened on the 2nd of August 2009, following the first game with Espanyol against Liverpool; Espanyol won 3-0 in the first half, with Luis Garcia scoring the first goal on the field and then an Ben Sahar double. The following day, Espanyol captain Daniel Jarque passed away due to a cardiac arrest at the age of 26 in the Florence neighborhood of Coverciano in the area where the team was located at the time, after playing a number of matches in Italy.

3. Rivalries

As per detail below.

3.1. El derbi barceloní

In the beginning into the second half of 20th century under the Miguel Primo de Rivera dictatorship (1923-1930), FC Barcelona was considered to be an emblem that reflected Catalan identity. This was in contrast to RCD Espanyol which cultivated a sort of adherence to the central authorities.

In 1918 cities in Catalonia launched an effort to petition the Spanish Government to approve the creation of a Statute of Autonomy. FC Barcelona joined that request and the Catalan press acknowledged FC Barcelona as a major cultural component that was part of the Catalan independence movement. The city's other team RCD Espanyol, dissociated itself from the claim due to FC Barcelona's performance in the European stage.

Today, FC Barcelona is the club which is more in line with the political powers of Catalonia. Its previous presidents have referred to the club as part of those who support the Catalan independence movement as well as the referendum being held which has led to discontent with certain Catalan fans as well as those from the other regions of Spain who feel ignored and believe they are being influenced by the club towards the Catalans. While some of RCD Espanyol's executives have expressed opinions in favor of independence, the team is not involved in politics. The belief is that the majority of the club's supporters are opposed to the independence of Catalonia.

Numerous times RCD Espanyol has complained of an unfavorable and at times specifically offensive treatment of the club , in favor of FC Barcelona by some Catalonian public media, such as TV3.

Despite these differing ideologies however, derbi (derby) has always been more important for Espanyol supporters than supporters of Barcelona (who regard El Clasico in higher regard in contrast) due to the different in goals.

Although it's the most popular locally-based derby ever played in La Liga however, it is also the one with the lowest balance in the league, with Barcelona dominating the field. The league standings are a mess. Espanyol was able to be above Barca three times in nearly 70 years. And the only all-Catalan Copa Del Rey final was taken by Barca in the year 1957. Espanyol can take comfort in winning the most by a large margin by a 6-0 win in 1951.

Espanyol scored a 2-1 victory over FC Barcelona during the 2008-09 season. It was the very first club to beat Barcelona in Camp Nou in their treble-winning season.

Espanyol lost 1-0 to FC Barcelona on 8 July 2020, before being removed from the Segunda Division.

4. Stadium

From 1923 to 1997, Espanyol was home to their games in the Estadi of Sarria in the Sarria San Gervasi district in Barcelona. From 1997 onwards, the club relocated to the Estadi Lluis Companys of Olimpic located on Montjuic. At the beginning of the 2009-10 season Espanyol relocated to the new RCDE Stadium (also called Estadi Cornella-El Prat) between Cornella de Llobregat and El Prat de Llobregat.
