Real Madrid defeats Espanyol behind Carlos Espí winning goal

Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory against Espanyol in the second round of La Liga, driven by a 90th-minute winning goal from new signing Carlos Espí. The 21-year-old forward, who joined from Levante for 25 million euros, entered the match as a substitute under manager José Mourinho.

During the match, tensions were observed on the pitch between Vinícius Júnior and Arda Güler. Vinícius expressed frustration toward Güler after the Turkish player opted to pass the ball to Kylian Mbappé instead of him, reportedly telling his teammate, “Arda, Arda, at least once give me the ball, it is always the same.”
