Girona – Real Madrid 0-3 – Carlo Ancelotti’s side lead in Spain

Real overcame a setback against rivals Atletico Madrid two matches ago.

In just four days, Carlo Ancelotti’s wards beat Las Palmas and Girona and climbed to the top of the table.

After a superb first half, the visitors were already 2-0 up with goals from Josela in the 17th minute and Chuameni in the 21st minute.

Despite the fact that the hosts possessed the ball and had several scoring chances close to those of Real Madrid, in the second half the goal was also in their goal.

In the 71st minute, Madrid’s summer acquisition Jude Bellingham brilliantly completed the counterattack with a free kick in the penalty area.

In extra time, the guests prevailed after a strong foul by Nacho.

Real Madrid have 21 points, one more than Barcelona and two more than Girona.
