Espanyol is a team from Catalonia that competes in the Spanish La Liga. The club was established in 1900 and was initially known as Sociedad Espanola de Football. In 1901, the team changed its name to Club Espanol de Futbol. While they previously wore bright yellow jerseys, the current home kit for Los Periquitos is blue and white.

Barcelona and Espanyol are fierce rivals, and they often compete against each other in the Catalan derby (known as Derbi barceloni). Espanyol has always been overshadowed by Barca, but it should be recognized that los Periquitos have won four Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup) titles.

Raul Tamudo, Jose Maria, Antonio Argiles, and Mauricio Pochettino are the players with the most games played for the Catalan team. Espanyol’s home matches take place at Estadio Cornella-El Prat, which has a capacity of 40,500. The team has never competed in the Champions League.
