As the Barcelona derby approaches, Espanyol's English winger Tyrhys Dolan is eager to make a statement. In an interview with Sky Sports, Dolan expressed his excitement about the opportunity to play against Barcelona, a team he has faced before. Dolan has already made a significant impact at Espanyol, with notable performances against Athletic Club and Celta Vigo. He has also impressed in matches against top-tier teams like Real Madrid.
Dolan's journey to LaLiga was not straightforward, having been released by Manchester City as a youngster and playing for Blackburn before joining Espanyol. Despite the challenges, Dolan has adapted well to the Spanish league and has become a fan favorite. He credits his family and friends for their unwavering support and is grateful for the opportunity to play in LaLiga.
Dolan is also passionate about using his platform to help young footballers who are dealing with the emotional impact of being released from academies. He has become an ambassador for the charity Go Again and is dedicated to inspiring others with his story.
With Espanyol still in contention for a European spot, Dolan is focused on finishing the season strong and making his family and friends proud.
