Real Madrid beat their opponents twice and extended their league lead
In the early morning of February 11, Beijing time, Real Madrid faced Girona in the 24th round of the Spanish League, which was a key battle. Vinicius scored a world-class strike in the first half and then a goal for Bellerin. In the second half, Bellerin's goal resulted in two goals for the team, and Rodrygo secured the victory. In the end, Real Madrid thrashed Girona 4-0 to achieve a double home and away victory, and continued to hold the lead with a five-point gap.
Neither Barcelona nor Atletico Madrid are in Real Madrid's squad for the title, but Girona finished 10th last season, meaning the team is going through a crazy change. In the standings, Real Madrid is at the top of the table with 58 points and Girona is second with 56 points, only two points between the two.
The two teams met once earlier in the season, when Real Madrid beat Girona 3-0, and the two teams have been leading the table ever since. Girona will need to win at the Bernabeu if they want to overtake Real Madrid and get back to the top.
In the 6th minute, Valverde made a straight stop, and Vinicius Jr. received a pass and cut straight in, creating a perfect start for Real Madrid: 1:0.
In the 35th minute, Vinicius received a long pass, and a powerful shot from near the Bellingham penalty area sent the ball into the net, giving Real Madrid a 2-0 lead.
Statistically, both teams have the same amount of time on the ball, but Real Madrid are more attacking with seven goals, three and one very good goalscoring chance, and Girona simply can't keep up with Real Madrid.
Real Madrid continued to put pressure on the Girona defence after returning to the pitch in the second half.
In the 54th minute, Vinicius' powerful shot from midfield was saved by the goalkeeper, and then Bellingham scored with another easy header as Real Madrid won the game 3-0 again.
According to the data, Bellingham's total number of goals in La Liga this season has risen to 16, behind only Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale, and he is the fifth player in Real Madrid's history to score more than 15 goals in his first season and occupy the top spot in the league's scorer charts.
In the 61st minute, Real Madrid got a counter-attack, and Rodrygo dribbled into the box to win a 4-0 victory for Real Madrid.
Girona have been in trouble ever since, not only losing on the road, but also being beaten by Real Madrid both home and away, having already suffered two defeats.
After this victory, Real Madrid have 61 points and they remain at the top of the table, five points above Girona, and are already invincible at home and away.
