Girona suffered the law of Getafe this Saturday as part of the 29th day of La Liga (1-0).
Much less consistent in recent weeks, the Catalans lost in the suburbs of Madrid, thus letting Real escape to the top of the standings.
Fallers of Osasuna in Pamplona earlier in the day (2-4), the Merengues are now ten steps ahead of their rivals in command of the Spanish elite.
Third at one point, Barça can move up a level in the event of a result on Atlético’s pitch on Sunday.
