Real Madrid is losing by a landslide 4-2 against Girona, in a match with tempers raised by matchday 31 of the Spanish League, with Vinicius as the protagonist at the Montilivi stadium.
In the 12th minute, a tremendous play by the Gironés team, Iván Martín entered the area, with a heel he played for Riquelme who commanded the center and Taty Castellanos hit Andriy Lunin with his head.
Taty Castellanos hit Real Madrid again on 24′. Long ball that the Argentine striker lowers, Éder Militao falls asleep and entering the area the ‘9’ from Girona hits him from the right for his double.
At 34′, Marco Asensio raised a cross to the far post and that’s where Vinicius appeared to put his head and close the gap.
Starting the second part, Girona found the third in another mistake by the Merengue defense. Yan Couto leaves Nacho, sends the center and once again Taty Castellanos scores to make his hat-trick.
The cold night for Real Madrid has been increasing. Another cross into the area that caught Militao asleep and a header from Castellanos to make history with his poker, 4-1 in the 62nd minute.
The Italian Carlo Ancelotti included five changes in the starting eleven for the white team against Girona compared to the one that beat Celta de Vigo (2-0) last Saturday, including the Ukrainian Andriy Lunin in goal and the Brazilian Rodrygo Goes as a center forward.
Lunin covers the last minute absence of the Belgian Thibaut Courtois due to gastroenteritis, while Rodrygo takes the place of a Karim Benzema who is out due to a blow.
In addition, Ancelotti once again has the Spanish Dani Carvajal on the right side and recovers the German Toni Kroos and the Croatian Luka Modric in midfield.
