This Sunday at 16:15 at the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid will host Girona. A duel in which they will already know what FC Barcelona have done in their Saturday match against Las Palmas and in which they will seek to regain the lead that the Catalans took last Monday when they narrowly beat Rayo Vallecano on penalties. Real and Barça are tied at the top of the table with Atlético one point below. They will look to retake the lead against a Girona in a bad run of form that must revive itself if it is to retain its chances of competing in Europe again.
Indeed, the Whites go into this league game on the back of another Champions League display that saw them through to the last sixteen. The Whites are seven games away from lifting their sixteenth European Cup. A Kylian Mbappé hat-trick shattered the spirit of the weakest Manchester City side of the ‘Guardiola era’. Now it’s time to refocus on the league where there is more talk of the refereeing controversy than of the Whites’ results. Real Madrid have not won in the league since last January 25th against Real Valladolid and since then there has been one defeat and two draws, against Espanyol, Atlético and Osasuna, respectively, which have been marked by refereeing controversy.
Girona are not having their best moment either. They have only won one game in the last five and are losing ground in the league table. Specifically, Míchel’s team is in 10th place with 31 points. Europa are four points above them and eight points below them in the red zone of the table. There are still 14 matchdays to go, but if they don’t improve their situation, they will not be eligible to play in Europe next season. Girona have lost four of their last five LaLiga games (W1) – in total, they have suffered 11 defeats in the competition this campaign (W9 D4), their highest tally after their first 24 games of a top-flight season.
At home, Real Madrid have won two of their four LaLiga matches against Girona (1D 1L), scoring at least four goals in both victories: 6-3 in the first, in March 2018, and 4-0 in the last, in February 2024.
