Real madrid cffootball club

Reial Club Deportiu Espanyol de Barcelona (catalán:  [rəjal ˈklub dəpuɾˈtiw əspəˈɲɔl də βəɾsəˈlonə]; “Real Club Deportivo Español de Barcelona”), comúnmente conocido como Espanyol, es un club deportivo profesional con sede en Barcelona, España.

Fundado en 1900, el club juega en la Liga, la división más alta del fútbol español, y disputa sus partidos como local en el RCDE Stadium, con capacidad para 40.000 espectadores. El Espanyol ha ganado la Copa del Rey en cuatro ocasiones, la última en 2006, y llegó a la final de la Copa de la UEFA en 1988 y 2007. El equipo disputa el derbi barcelonés con el FC Barcelona.

Tras la abdicación del mismo rey en 1931 y la declaración de la Segunda República Española, debido a la prohibición de los símbolos reales, el club adoptó el nombre más catalán/republicano, Club Esportiu Espanyol. Después de la Guerra Civil española, el nombre se revirtió.

El club adoptó la ortografía catalana para su nombre en febrero de 1995. La palabra “Deportiu” en Reial Club Deportiu Espanyol de Barcelona es una forma catalanizada de la palabra original “Deportivo” (castellano), a pesar de que la palabra correcta es “Esportiu” en lengua catalana. Esta elección se hizo para conservar las iniciales “RCD” en el nombre del club.

At that time, the fact of playing was more important than the color of the jersey.
