Real Madrid’s league woes continued on Sunday evening, with Xabi Alonso’s men only able to snag a point from a disappointing 1–1 draw with Girona.
A successful penalty from Kylian Mbappé was the only goal Los Blancos managed against their 18th-place opponents at the Estadi Montilivi. Despite rallying 25 shots the way of Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga, only four were on target in another rather lifeless effort from Real Madrid.
The Spanish giants have now failed to win their last three La Liga matches, and only have one victory in their last five games across all competitions. What was once a five point gap atop the table has now seen Los Blancos fall to second place, with Barcelona one point ahead of their bitter rivals.
