Real Madrid Defeats Girona To Move Level On Points With Barcelona
Real Madrid secured a 2-0 victory over Girona at the Bernabéu, bringing them level on points with Barcelona at the top of La Liga.
Luka Modrić broke the deadlock just before halftime with a stunning 30-yard strike, firing past Paulo Gazzaniga after a Rodrygo corner found its way to him.
Girona struggled to create attacking threats but remained in the contest until the 83rd minute when Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. combined brilliantly. The Brazilian finished with a deft toe poke past Gazzaniga to secure the victory.
The win moves Real Madrid into second place, one point ahead of Atlético de Madrid and level with Barcelona, trailing only on goal difference with 13 games remaining in La Liga.
