The match will be played at Barca's temporary home, Montjuic Stadium, which was also the former home of Espanyol for 12 seasons.
Espanyol coach Manolo Gonzalez admits he's already eyeing the first derby of the season against Barcelona.AdvertisementAdvertisement"Montjuic? We will play at home, then," laughed Gonzalez.
"It will be tremendous and a very hard game, because they are good. It is a derby, a very complicated match, with a very great rivalry. But we are capable of fighting it, as we do with everyone."
He also said: "I am as I have always been. I have not changed my way of being, of living, or of being on a bench. If it went well for me, why change?"
