3:0 In Girona: Real Madrid Nutzt Barça

Real Madrid took advantage of Barcelona’s shock defeat to Girona to move top of La Liga on Sunday.

Goals from Rodrygo, Federico Valverde and Marco Asensio secured a comfortable win for the visitors at the Estadi Montilivi, while Barça crashed to a 1-0 defeat at home to Cadiz.
It was a stunning result for Girona, who had never beaten Real Madrid in La Liga before.

The result leaves Real Madrid one point clear of Barcelona at the top of the table, with 38 points from 17 games.

Barcelona has 37 points from the same number of games. Real Madrid is now also on course to win their first La Liga title since 2020. They have not lost a game in the league since October, and they have won their last five matches in all competitions.

Barcelona’s defeat was their first in La Liga since October, and it was their first home defeat since September.

They were without several key players, including Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembele, and Pedri, but they were still expected to beat Cadiz, who are bottom of the table.

The result raises questions about Barcelona’s title credentials

They had been in excellent form before the World Cup break, but they have now lost two of their three games since the restart.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, are looking increasingly like champions.

They have a strong squad, and they are playing with great confidence. They will be confident of beating Valencia at home in their next game and extending their lead at the top of the table.

Conclusions

Real Madrid’s win over Girona was a significant moment in the La Liga title race. They are now the favorites to win the title, while Barcelona’s hopes have been dealt a blow.

It will be fascinating to see how the rest of the season unfolds. Real Madrid will be confident of winning the title, but Barcelona will be determined to bounce back and prove that they are still the best team in Spain.
