Real Madrid suffered a setback in the LaLiga title race after being held to a 1-1 draw by Girona at the Santiago Bernabéu, extending their winless run to three matches.
Federico Valverde gave the hosts the lead early in the second half, but Thomas Lemar equalised soon after with a superb strike. The result leaves Real trailing Barcelona by six points, having played a game more, giving their rivals a chance to extend the gap further.
Despite fielding a strong lineup featuring Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham, Real dominated possession but struggled to create clear chances. Girona defended with discipline and capitalised on their opportunity, frustrating the home side and their fans.
With a crucial Champions League quarter-final clash approaching, Real’s inconsistent form has raised concerns as their LaLiga title ambitions continue to slip.
