Jose Mourinho will take charge of a competitive game for Real Madrid for the first time since 2013 as his second spell in charge begins with a LaLiga away match at Espanyol.

Mourinho is hoping to turn things around at Madrid after they endured a tumultuous and trophy-less 2025-26 campaign.

They visit an Espanyol side that already has a win to their name after sweeping aside Levante 3-0 last weekend.
