It's considered a friendly rivalry, so it isn't as bad as say Sevilla - Betis.

Normally it's a Barça player going to Espanyol is more common. But I'm sure if Barcelona ends up wanting Hector and are willing to pay what Espanyol asks for, I don't see Espanyol not willing to sell because of the rivalry.

I'm not so sure. I'm pretty sure they hate each other. At least I know tha Espanyol fans hate Barca with a passion. Except for Iniesta for the Jarque salute at the World Cup.

It's sort of Atlas - Chivas, in Catalunya it's a big, big, deal.

It used to be a heated rivalry due to politics. Now not so much.

Still heated tho. It's not like it's Bilbao-Sociedad where the fans from both teams sit together and sing songs.

I didn't mean friendly in that sense, I was mostly comparing it to Sevilla - Betis or Celtic - Rangers. Not the same. It's still a rivalry, obviously, but it isn't like either team lives and breathes to beat the other.

Atlético · Dec 7, 2011

Honestly it would be more likely for Real to swoop for him instead of Barca, simply because Espanyol-to-Barca transfers are very rare

But obviously he has a looong way to go before that sort of speculation

He was solid against Sporting Gijon over the weekend, his long ball was the main thing that stood out for me, he was dropping them in dangerous places for the forwards and wingers all night.

nopalnation · Dec 21, 2011

According to this, he wasn't even in the bench today... It was copa del rey, but still..

He is playing right now vs Barcelona.

Lets see how he and the other defenders handle the Barca pressure.

The backline + keeper have been pretty god awful.

The keeper just topped it off with a howler.

goooooool Espanyol! 1-1 85th

Shzm13 · Jan 8, 2012

Epic finish for the 1-1 draw. Moreno played the full 90.

PARS · Jan 8, 2012

Saw only the last 20 mins or so, exciting ones, doubt the whole match was like that. In those 20 Moreno did well, two good passes none bad. I can't imagine how that place would react had they actually won.

That's bullshit.

Moreno did very well this game. He was rock solid all game. He had a couple of good runs up front as well. If he keeps this up he's going to attract the attention of some big squads. His team is in now in a Europa league spot I think.
