Football archive: this game took place on 21 September 2024, not 22 September. It was matchday 6 of the 2024/25 league season, not matchday eight. The result was Real Madrid 4–1 Espanyol.
The recorded comeback
The LaLiga match record confirms the date, round and score. Espanyol went ahead through a Courtois own goal; Carvajal, Rodrygo, Vinícius Júnior and Mbappé scored for Madrid, as recorded in the club’s report.
This page’s address still contains “22-september” because it is the original address. That part of the URL is an old, incorrect reference, not the actual match date.
