Real Madrid traveled to Barcelona on Saturday to take on RCD Espanyol in a game that, with a win, could extend their lead at the top of La Liga. The Spanish champions head into the fixture in blistering form, having won five games in a row and scoring 20 goals in the process.
Currently sitting 18th in La Liga, the odds are firmly against the Catalan club, and Real Madrid are expected to field a strong lineup, with Carlo Ancelotti unwilling to take any risks.
For fans in India, however, there’s a setback for those planning to stay up until 1:30 AM on Sunday, February 2. GXR World, the platform that streams La Liga in the country, has once again stopped working.
The last time this happened, the company remained silent, but it was during the winter break. Before the league resumed, they managed to fix the issue. This time, however, all Spanish clubs are in the midst of a crucial stretch of games, making the disruption even more frustrating.
On X (formerly Twitter), GXR announced that they wouldn’t be streaming any La Liga games this weekend, leaving Indian fans without a broadcaster once again. “We’re working on resolving this as quickly as possible to bring you back the action you love! Thank you for your patience and support,” the company wrote.

How to watch Real Madrid vs Espanyol?
Unfortunately, with GXR World’s technical issues affecting their streaming platform, Indian football fans currently have no legal means to watch this crucial La Liga fixture. At the time of writing, there are no official broadcasters showing the match in India.
While some websites like Total Sportek and similar streaming platforms may offer links to watch the match, it’s important to note that these are unauthorized streams.
