In the last round of La Liga, Wu Lei finally ended the bench situation for 7 consecutive games, played more than 20 minutes off the bench, and finally did not break the goal, and the la Liga goal drought continued this season. Now Wu Lei will follow espanyol to sit at home against Barcelona, the match will start at 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on February 14, Wu Lei is eager to break the Barca goal for the second time, but also ended the 611 consecutive La Liga goal drought.
Entering 2022, Espanyol continued to perform poorly in La Liga, losing to Elche, Bilbao, Real Betis, Mallorca, and Pingjangades, without a win in 5 consecutive rounds, only 1 point, getting farther and farther away from the European zone, and the advantage over the relegation zone was narrowed, manager Moreno was the first responsible person, but the club did not have any intention of changing the coach.
In the new round of La Liga, Espanyol will return home to meet the challenge of Barcelona, this Catalan derby is basically one-sided, and it is difficult for Espanyol to have the strength and form to compete.
According to statistics, the last time Espanyol beat Barca was in 2009, when De la Pena scored twice, and Yaya Toure scored, and finally Espanyol won 2-1 away. Since then, there has been a series of winless scores, including 0-5, 1-4, 0-4, the most recent meeting was on November 21, 2021, when Espanyol lost 0-1 away and won 12 consecutive years without barca, continuing the shameful record.
Compared to espanyol's five consecutive rounds of La Liga, Barca have been in good shape recently, having gone unbeaten in eight consecutive games and winning the last two rounds. Once the Spaniards lose, they are closer to the relegation zone, and the manager Moreno's position will not be guaranteed.
Of course, in this Catalan derby matchup, domestic fans pay more attention to Wu Lei's performance and look forward to breaking the Barca goal for the second time. Two years ago, Wu Lei scored an equalising goal at home to Espanyol, which was the first time a Chinese player broke the barca goal, Wu Lei made history, and now Wu Lei has become a marginal man in Espanyol, playing time is very unstable, once sitting on the bench in 7 consecutive La Liga games.
Until the match against Athletic Bilbao on February 8, Wu Lei came off the bench and made his debut in La Liga again after a gap of 71 days, but still could not break the La Liga goal drought.
The last time Wu Lei scored in La Liga was on June 13, 2020, and now he is about to play at home against Barca, Wu Lei is eager to complete the goal, thus ending the 611 consecutive La Liga goal drought, let us also wait and see!
