Real Madrid secured a crucial victory over Girona at the Santiago Bernabeu La Liga , with Luka Modric’s stunning goal being the highlight of the match. The veteran midfielder struck a sensational half-volley from outside the box in the 30th minute, sending the ball into the top corner and giving Madrid a deserved lead at halftime.
Madrid Dictates the Tempo in La Liga
Los Blancos started the game on the front foot, with Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappe spearheading the attack. Girona, however, grew into the game and nearly found the equalizer through Donny van de Beek, only for Thibaut Courtois to make a crucial save. Despite Girona’s high pressing, Real Madrid maintained control, dictating the play with precise passing and quick transitions.
Second Half of La Liga
The second half saw Real Madrid continue their attacking dominance. Vinicius Jr. capitalized on a brilliant through ball from Mbappe in the 82nd minute, calmly slotting the ball past the Girona keeper to double Madrid’s lead. Earlier, Madrid came close to scoring through Tchouameni’s header from a Modric free-kick and Mbappe’s shot, which was parried away.
Girona’s Fightback Falls Short
Girona pushed forward aggressively in the final moments, with Bryan Gil delivering crosses into the box and Arnaut Danjuma testing Courtois with a powerful strike. However, Madrid’s defense held firm, with Ancelotti’s tactical changes—including bringing on Eduardo Camavinga and Dani Ceballos—helping to absorb Girona’s pressure.
Final Whistle: Madrid Goes Level with Barcelona
With this win, Real Madrid now moves level on points with Barcelona at the top of the La Liga standings. The team showcased its attacking prowess and defensive resilience, proving once again why they are strong title contenders. Girona, despite their efforts, fell short in breaking down Madrid’s solid backline.
Madrid’s victory further cements their status as one of the strongest teams in Spain this season, with their sights set firmly on the La Liga crown.
