There is a new champion in Spain!
After seeing rival Barcelona win the title last season, Real Madrid celebrated again and increased the number of championships in their history to 36. Interestingly, the party white He only loosened up after the Catalans’ defeat against Girona, in this case 4-2.
The team led by Xavi Hernández entered the field knowing that only by winning would they prevent the Madrileños to celebrate and the truth is that, at first, such a scenario did not shake Barça. Thus, after just three minutes, Christensen made the most of a good pass from Lamine Yamal and opened the scoring at Girona’s home ground.
Even so, the visitors’ advantage was short-lived, as, a minute later, Dovbyk restored equality on the scoreboard. Even with Lewandowski making it 1-2 from a penalty before the break, the second half brought a truly overwhelming Girona.
At 65′, Dovbyk made the most of a bad delay from Sergi Roberto and assisted the newly introduced Portu to put the score at 2-2. Shortly afterwards, Gutierrez, in a somewhat fortuitous move, turned the score around, before Portu, with an excellent first-time shot, closed the score at 4-2.
With this result, Girona not only surpassed Barcelona and reached second place, but also secured their presence in the next edition of the Champions League.
