Real Madrid secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Girona, with Luka Modric and Vinicius Jr playing key roles in the Liga title race. Despite a somewhat sloppy performance, Madrid managed to pick up all three points, thanks to Modric’s stunning goal and Vinicius’ clinical finish.
The game saw plenty of chances for both sides, with Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius combining well but lacking a cutting edge in front of goal. Paulo Gazzaniga and Thibaut Courtois were forced into making important saves to keep the score level, before Modric’s moment of magic broke the deadlock just before halftime.
Although Madrid missed the presence of Jude Bellingham and could have been more clinical in front of goal, Ancelotti will be pleased with the result in such a tightly contested title race. Stay updated with GOAL for more insights on Madrid’s performance and player ratings from the Bernabeu.
