Espanyol attacker Sergi Darder says he believes they can upset Barcelona.

Espanyol will resume the LaLiga with a derby against Barcelona on December 31.

Darder turned 29 yesterday and told Mundo Deportivo: "By the end of the year we have a very special gift, the derby. There would be no better gift for me than to win at the Camp Nou.

"Already for 2023, I ask for health for all, the main thing.

"We must be realistic and aware of the field we are going to and the difficulty that it entails, but in the end we will already value what we have done."
