Name
edit
Initially known as the Sociedad Española de Football on its foundation, the name was changed toClub Español de Fútbolin 1901. In 1906, the club folded due to financial reasons and most of the players joined theX Sporting Club,which came to win theCampionat de Catalunyathree times in a row before disappearing in 1908 to merge with the Spanish Jiu-Jitsu Club to be effectively relaunched as theClub Deportivo Español,and in 1910, they adopted their present-day colours. Espanyol is one of several Spanish football clubs granted patronage by theSpanish crownand thus entitled to useRealin their names and theroyal crownon their badge. This right was granted to Espanyol in 1912 byAlfonso XIIIand the club subsequently became known as theReal Club Deportivo Español.[2]
Following the abdication of the same king in 1931 and the declaration of theSecond Spanish Republic,due to prohibition of royal symbols, the club adopted the more Catalan/republican friendly name,Club Esportiu Espanyol.After theSpanish Civil War,the name was reverted.
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 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.
History
editFoundation and club culture
editEspanyol was founded on 25 October 1900 byÁngel Rodríguez Ruiz,an engineering student at theUniversity of Mariquitas.[3]The club's original home was in the well-off district ofSarrià;Espanyol was the first club in Spain to be formed exclusively by Spanish fans of the game, with the other early clubs having links to Britain or central Europe.

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 theClub Deportivo Españoland at the proposal ofEduardo Corrons,the club's number one partner for many years, the club agreed to choose blue and white stripes as shirt colours and as the central colours of the club badge.[4]Blue and white were chosen in homage to the colours appearing on the shield of the great Sicilian-Aragonese AdmiralRoger de Lluria,who sailed the Mediterranean protecting the interests of the Crown of Aragon in theMiddle Ages.[4]The club was successful from the very beginning, winning the firstCampionat de Catalunyain 1903 and subsequently playing in the firstCopa del Reyin1903.[5]
In 1906Club Español de Footballhad to suspend its activities due to a lack of players, since most of them were university students who enrolled to study at universities outsideCatalonia.X Sporting Club took advantage of this as most of the remaining Español players joined them, which meant a big leap in quality for the club, and as a result, the X won theCatalan championshipthree times in a row between 1905 and 1908, beating the likes ofFC InternacionalandFC Barcelonafor the title.[6]This historic side had the likes ofPedro Gibert,José IrízarandSantiago Massana.It was not until 1909 that X and Español were restructured again, when several of the former university students returned toBarcelonawith the idea of refoundingClub Español de Football,which they achieved on 27 December 1908, when X merged with the Spanish Jiu-Jitsu Club.[6]
In the 1910s, they won theCampionat de Catalunyathree times, in 1911–12, 1914–15 and 1917–18, winning later largely thanks to their backline led byRicardo Zamora.They also reached the final of the Copa del Rey twice in1911and1915,but lost toAthletic Bilbaoon both occasions.[7]
In 1994, Espanyol created itsreserve team,Espanyol B,[8]currently playing in theSegunda División B.
Two UEFA Cup finals (1988–2009)
editJavier Clementewas hired in 1986. In his first season, he took the team to a joint-best 3rd place, qualifying for theUEFA Cup.They defeatedBorussia Mönchengladbach,A.C. Milan,Inter Milan,TJ VitkoviceandClub Brugge KVto reach thefinal,losing on penalties toBayer 04 Leverkusenafter a 3–3 aggregate draw.[9]Two relegations followed, but the club remained in La Liga from winning the1993–94 Segunda Divisiónuntil relegated at the conclusion of the 2019-20 COVID pandemic impacted season.
Juli Pardo oversaw the transformation of the club into aSociedad Anónima Deportiva.[10]In the wake of the accumulated debt, the club were forced to sell theSarrià Stadium,which was eventually demolished in 1997.[10]
Paco Flores' Espanyol won the2000 Copa del Rey Final2–1 againstAtlético MadridatMestalla,a first cup win since 1940.[11]Six years later, underMiguel Ángel Lotina,the club won again, this time 4–1 againstReal Zaragozain Madrid, with goals byRaúl Tamudo,Luis García(two) andCoro.[12]
With this cup win, Espanyol entered theUEFA Cup.They won all their group games, before dispatchingLivorno,Maccabi Haifa,Benfica,andWerder Bremento reach thefinal.In the final, held on 16 May atHampden ParkinGlasgow,Espanyol fell to fellow La Liga sideSevilla,losing 3–1 in a shootout following a 2–2 draw.[13]They became the only football team in UEFA Cup history to remain unbeaten in the tournament, yet not take home the trophy.Walter Pandiani,who would leave the club at the end of the season, was the UEFA Cup's top goalscorer that season. On 9 June 2007, Tamudo became Espanyol's highest-ever goalscorer after surpassing the 111 goals scored byRafael Marañón,and ended the night with 113.
On 31 May 2009, Espanyol played its last match at theEstadio Olímpico de Montjuic,a 3–0 defeat ofMálaga.Espanyol had played in the Estadi Olímpic after moving from their previous ground in Sarria. With the move, club talisman Raúl Tamudo had the unique distinction of having played in three different home stadiums with his club: Sarrià, Montjuïc and, beginning in the2009–10 season,the Cornellà-El Prat.
Recent years (2009–present)
edit
In January 2009, former Espanyol defenderMauricio Pochettinowas hired as manager with the club in the relegation zone – his first senior job.[14]He won 2–1 against rivals Barcelona at the Camp Nou in February to help keep the club up; Barcelona, underPep Guardiola,won thetreblethat season.[15]
After 12 seasons playing at theEstadi Olímpic de Montjuïc,Espanyol moved to theEstadi de Cornellá-El Prat.The new stadium was officially inaugurated on 2 August 2009 with a match between Espanyol andLiverpool;Espanyol won 3–0, withLuis Garcíascoring the first goal at the ground, followed by aBen Sahardouble.[16]Six days later, Espanyol captainDaniel Jarquedied from acardiac arrestaged 26 in theFlorenceneighbourhood ofCoverciano,where the club was at the time after playing several fixtures in Italy.[17]Since then, in the 21st minute – his former shirt number – of every Espanyol match, an ovation is made in his honour for a full minute.
After Pochettino left in 2012, the club maintained themselves in the top flight under a series of other managers. In January 2016, Chinese businessman Chen Yansheng took over the club by acquiring a 54% stake.[18]In the2018–19 season,Espanyol finished 7th, thus returning to the Europa League for the first time since their final run in 2006–07.[19]However, the club suffered relegation for the first time since 1994 the following season, after a 1–0 loss at Barcelona.[20][21]On 3 August 2020 the club published an official statement urging La Liga to suspend relegation; nevertheless relegation was not avoided.[22]Espanyol won promotion back to La Liga at the first attempt on 8 May 2021 following a 0–0 draw againstZaragoza,with four matches to spare in the 42-game season.
Since 2022, Espanyol has achieved a strategic cooperation with LEYU SPORTS. And LEYU became Official Asian Partner of RCDE.[23]On 28 May 2023, Espanyol relegated to the Segunda División after two seasons in La Liga. Following a 4th Place finish in the Segunda División, the club was promoted back to La Liga following a promotion 2-0 (2-1 agg.) win against Real Oviedo on 23 June 2024.
Rivalries
editEl derbi barceloní
editIn the first half of the 20th century during theMiguel Primo de Rivera dictatorship(1923–1930), FC Barcelona was seen as a symbol ofCatalanidentity. This contrasted with RCD Espanyol which cultivated a kind of compliance with the central authority.[24]
In 1918, the municipalities of Catalonia promoted a campaign to ask the Spanish Government for aStatute of Autonomy. FC Barcelona joined that request and the Catalan press recognised FC Barcelona as a major cultural arm of the Catalan independence movement. The city's other team, RCD Espanyol, dissociated itself from the claim due to the former's success on the European stage.[25][26]
Today FC Barcelona is the club that is closer to the political powers in Catalonia. Its last presidents have linked the club with theCatalan independence movementand the holding of a referendum, even though this causes discomfort among some Catalan fans and those in the rest of Spain who feel neglected and think the team is biased against them.[27]Although some of RCD Espanyol's directors have expressed pro-independence stances, the club stays out of politics. It is believed that most of the team's fans are against the independence of Catalonia.[28]
On numerous occasions RCD Espanyol has complained of unfavourable and sometimes directly offensive treatment towards the club in favour of FC Barcelona by some Catalonian public media likeTV3.[29][30][31]
Despite these differences in ideology, thederbi(derby) has always been more relevant to Espanyol supporters than those of Barcelona (who holdEl Clásicoin higher regard instead) due to the difference in objectives.
Though it is the most played local derby in the history of La Liga, it is also the most unbalanced, with Barcelona overwhelmingly dominant. In the league table, Espanyol has only managed to finish above Barça on three occasions in almost 70 years and the only all-Catalan Copa del Rey final was won by Barça in 1957. Espanyol has the consolation of achieving the largest margin win with a 6–0 victory in 1951.
Espanyol achieved a 2–1 win against FC Barcelona during the 2008–09 season, becoming the first team to defeat Barcelona at Camp Nou in their treble-winningseason.[32]
Espanyol lost 0–1 to FC Barcelona on 8 July 2020, to be relegated to the Segunda División.[20][21]
Stadium
editFrom 1923 until 1997, Espanyol played their home games inEstadi de Sarriàin theSarrià-Sant Gervasidistrict of Barcelona. In 1997, they moved to theEstadi Olímpic Lluís CompanysonMontjuïc.For the beginning of the 2009–10 season, Espanyol moved into the newly constructedRCDE Stadium(also known asEstadi Cornellà-El Prat) betweenCornellà de LlobregatandEl Prat de Llobregat.

Historical departments of RCD Espanyol
editUntil the 1990s, Espanyol had several sporting sections. In March 2017, the Association of Supporters and Shareholders of RCD Espanyol boosted a project for recovering the sporting sections of the club, but this time without any economic link with the football team. The new multi-sports club was created with the name ofSeccions Deportives Espanyol(Sporting sections Espanyol).[47]
Two months later, the association confirmed that Espanyol would start competing in the 2017–18 season, with aroller hockeyteam and women's volleyball teams.[48]In the next season, the basketball section was refounded and a new section of handball would be created.
