Thoughts before the Real Madrid vs. Girona game

This season, Real Madrid has played very well. Carlo Ancelotti’s team won the Spanish Suρer Cup and is currently in first place in La Liga. After 23 rounds, Real Madrid had 58 points, which was 8 points more than Barcelona and 10 points more than Atletico Madrid. There don’t seem to be many chances left for the two teams above to catchup to Real Madrid. Real Madrid was very close to beating Diego Simeone’s team Atletico Madrid in the previous round. They were ahead for more than 90 minutes. Because of Marcos Llorente’s goal in the 90+3 minute, the home team at Santiago Bernabeu lost two points and missed the chance to get further ahead of Girona.

For Girona, Michel’s army had a hard time against Real Sociedad, so the points had to be split. Real Madrid is still in first place, but Girona is only 2 points behind them. This gap could close at any time. If the Catalans win this weekend, they will be ahead of their opponents in the ranks. Real Madrid hasn’t lost a home game this season, so this won’t be easy.

Real Madrid is worried about one thing, even though they are ranked higher and are playing at Santiago Bernabeu, which is known as the “Holy Land.” Every single one of Real Madrid’s center defenders is having trouble right now, so coach Carlo Ancelotti will probably have to keep letting Carvajal play that position. On the other hand, Girona was glad to see striker Artem Dovbyk back. He has scored 14 goals in La Liga. The Ukrainian striker’s strong flying skills can make things hard for Carvajal, a defender who was born in 1992 and isn’t very tall and isn’t good at high ball battles.
