This season, Real Madrid has another Catalan rival in La Liga. While the Merengues had been getting away with it for decades with FC Barcelona, it is now Girona which holds the upper hand at the White House. Leader of La Liga, the modest club from Catalonia is this season’s sensation in the Iberian elite. But while this epic could clearly allow them to glean a historic title in their history, Real Madrid is putting up resistance and is only one unit behind with a game less.

Asked about this thrilling mano-a-mano, Michel, the Girona coach, did not want to get excited and confirmed that Carlo Ancelotti’s flock boxed in another category: “when there are 10 games left, we will see. What is clear is that Madrid wins its matches with ease and at the same time. rest time costs us dearly, we are not at their level.»
