Tooor for Real Madrid, 0-2 by Aurélien Tchouaméni
The answer: anything but good! Kroos circles a corner kick from the left into the middle. Tchouaméni is completely free in the six-yard box because Blind loses sight of him. Gazzaniga is powerless against the header into the left corner.

Too bad for Real Madrid, 0-1 by Joselu
Almost out of nowhere, the Royals go in front! Bellingham prepares from the left half field with a half-high cross to the outside of his instep. Joselu is quickest at the second post and pushes the ball towards the goal. Gazzaniga is actually good, but only directs it into his own net.

The early pressing seems to be causing problems for the Ancelotti team. It’s too rare for her to move forward quickly.

Tsygankov hits the post! What a start for the home team. On the right of the box, the offensive man pushes a wide cross from the left half of the field from a short distance onto the goalpost.

Girona is off to a really good start! Herreta nods a cross from the right from about five meters just over the box. That could have been the early lead.

Los Blancos recently suffered their first setback of the current season. Of all things, their first defeat came in a duel with city rivals Atlético (1:3). This meant they slipped behind arch-enemy Barcelona and today’s opponents. Nevertheless: With a threesome today they can take the lead in the table. But for that to happen, you absolutely have to have a better performance than last time.

It’s a little fairy tale that Girona is currently experiencing. As last year’s newcomers, they initially achieved a remarkable tenth place. Before FC Barcelona narrowly beat Sevilla FC yesterday (1-0), they were in first place in the rankings before this match day. Just like Barca, the White and Reds have no defeat on paper yet. One point against the favored Madrilenians is enough to regain the lead in the table.
