Around 800 fans watched the Catalan derby on a giant screen in Shanghai LaLiga Santander - Barcelona vs Espanyol Excitement for Wu Lei

Chinese forward Wu Lei has attracted a large interest in LaLiga Santander since his arrival at Espanyol in January and a big screen was set up in Shanghai as his team faced Barcelona in the Catalan derby on Saturday.

Despite Wu Lei starting on the bench, some 800 fans attended the event organised by LaLiga, including Espanyol's director of sponsoring, hospitality and new businesses president Antoni Alegre.

The striker, who was unable to start due to illness, came on during the second half as Lionel Messi's double secured all three points for the hosts at the Camp Nou.
