Tyrhys Dolan is no stranger to big occasions, but Saturday's La Liga clash between Espanyol and Real Madrid at the RCDE Stadium — with kick-off at 20:30 BST — promises to be the most testing afternoon of the 24-year-old's career so far.

The Manchester-born winger spent five years at Blackburn Rovers before making the move to Espanyol last summer, and he has settled impressively into Spanish football. He opened his second season in style, scoring in a 3-0 win over Levante on the opening weekend.

Now Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid arrive in Barcelona for their first league fixture of the campaign, and Dolan insists Espanyol will not be overawed by the occasion.
