From Dídac to Hartman: Espanyol and Burnley's Shared Journey from Europe to the Championship

The article details the close relationship between Spanish club Espanyol and English club Burnley, both owned by Alan Pace. It highlights player exchanges between the clubs, including Luca Koleosho's transfer in 2023, Lluc Castell's permanent move to Burnley for around €2 million, and Quilindschy Hartman's loan to Espanyol. The two teams are set to face each other in a friendly at Turf Moor on July 29, 2026, marking a reunion that recalls a previous friendly in 2018 when Espanyol won 2-0 with goals from Dídac Vilà and Sergi Darder. The match serves as preparation for Espanyol's push for La Liga and Burnley's campaign in the Championship after relegation from the Premier League.
