Espanyol's History
Full name Reial Club Deportiu Espanyol de Barcelona
Nickname(s) Periquitos (Parakeets) Blanquiblaus (White and Blues)
Founded 28 October 1900 (as Sociedad Española de Football)
Foundation and club culture
Espanyol were founded on 28 October 1900 by Ángel Rodríguez, an engineering student at the University of Barcelona. The club's original home was in the well-off district of Sarrià and was initially known as the Sociedad Española de Football. One year later, the club changed its name to "Club Español de Fútbol." Espanyol was the first club in Spain to be formed exclusively by Spanish fans of the game as opposed to expatriates who formed other clubs such as FC Barcelona.
The club originally played in bright yellow shirts, with the colour of the shorts being left to the individual player. A friend of the club founder owned a textile business and happened to have an abundance of yellow material left over from a job. In 1910, the club changed its name to "Club Deportivo Español" and chose blue and white stripes as shirt colours and as the central colours of the club badge. Blue and white was chosen in homage to the colours appearing on the shield of the great Catalan Admiral Roger de Lluria, who sailed the Mediterranean protecting Catalonia's interests in the Middle Ages. The club were successful from the very beginning, winning the Campionat de Catalunya in 1903 and subsequently playing in the Copa del Rey.
Development of club's name
In 1906, the club folded due to financial reasons and most of the players joined the "X Sporting Club." This club won the Campionat de Catalunya three times between 1906 and 1908. In 1909, this club was effectively relaunched as "Club Deportivo Español" and in 1910, they adopted the present day colours in honour of Admiral Roger de Llúria, an Italian naval hero.
Espanyol are one of several Spanish football clubs granted patronage by the Spanish crown and thus entitled to use Real in their names and the royal crown on their badge. This right was granted to Espanyol in 1912 by Alfonso XIII and the club subsequently became known as "Real Club Deportivo Español."
Following the abdication of Alfonso XIII in 1931 and the declaration of the Second Spanish Republic, due to prohibition of royal symbols, the club adopted the more Catalan/republican friendly name "Club Esportiu Espanyol." After the Spanish Civil War and the subsequent prohibition of the Catalan language, the name reverted to "Real Club Deportivo Español."
The club took the Catalan spelling for its name in February 1995. The word "Deportiu" in Reial Club Deportiu Espanyol de Barcelona is a Catalanised form of the the original word "Deportivo" (Castilian) despite the correct word being "Esportiu" in the Catalan language. This choice was made in order to retain the initials RCD in the club's name.

Rafa Benitez's men will be the first opponents to grace Espanyol's new home...
Liverpool will be Espanyol's first guests as the Spanish club open their new stadium before next season.
Rafa's side will play a friendly game in the summer as part of the opening of the new ground. The game, due to take place on August 2, will be a match that could, potentially, see Albert Riera and Steve Finnan come up against their former teams.
Kuna tegemist on kõva meeskonnaga, siis ma läheksin sellise koosseisuga:
25. Pepe Reina
2. Glen Johnson 23. Jamie Carragher 5.Daniel Agger 22. Emiliano Insua
15. Yossi Benayoun 14. Xabi Alonso 20. Javier Mascherano 11. Albert Riera
8. Steven Gerrard
9. Fernando Torres
Rafa on siukse koosseisuga:Reina, Johnson, Insua, San Jose, Carragher, Lucas, Mascherano, Gerrard, Benayoun, Kuyt, Torres ja vahetuses on Cavalieri, Plessis, Degen, Voronin, Riera, Alonso, Kelly, Babel, Ngog, Spearing, Dossena.
Poolajaks on seis 1-0 Espanyolile.Me vajaksime Xabi keskväljale.Me mängime liiga palju pikki palle,Lucasel puudub Xabi silmaring,meie söödud on olnud halvad ja anname liiga palju kergelt palli ära.Me mängime kõrge tempoga ja jõuame hästi kaitsesse,aga me peaksime parandama oma oskusi palliga.Igakord , kui vaatan Torres saab kossi , jääb mul hing kinni , et ta ei saaks vigastada.
Espanyol võitis 3-0 Liverpooli.Esimese poolaja koosseis pluss Agger ja Skrtel juurde, siis me oleks suutnud enamat luua.
