‘Blancos’ win title “on the couch” after João Cancelo and João Félix’s team failed to win and were still overtaken in the standings
Real Madrid is Spanish champion for the 36th time in history! After the title lost last season to Barcelona, Carlo Ancelotti once again puts the Madrid team on the throne of the Spanish championship, now with a newer championship than its great rival.
The confirmation came due to Barcelona’s heavy defeat at Girona’s home (2-4). The team of João Cancelo (started) and João Félix (entered in the 84th minute) not only lost the title to Real, but was also overtaken in the table by their Catalan neighbors, who rose to 2nd place.
The match started with a frenetic pace, with goals from Christensen in the 3rd minute and from Dovbyk in the next minute.
Only victory mattered to the blaugrana and with that in mind, Lewandowski once again put his team ahead from the penalty spot.
In the 2nd half, Barcelona would certainly not have been expecting an overwhelming offensive storm from Girona, which would result in three goals scored in the space of 10 minutes. Portu (65′), who hadn’t even been on the field a minute ago, scored first, followed by Miguel Gutiérrez (67′).
Portu would seal the final result in the 74th minute, with a great first-time shot.
He scored Girona’s fourth goal against Barcelona in the 74th minute, practically closing La Liga’s accounts
Girona now have 74 points, one more than Barcelona. But the big winner of the afternoon is Real Madrid, who had already beaten Cádiz (3-0) this Saturday and will thus be able to celebrate the title of Spanish champion.
‘Merengues’ could become champions this Saturday if Barcelona don’t beat Girona in the Catalan derby
