Girona challenges the leader

Girona FC and Real Madrid are set to write a new chapter in a rivalry that always exudes intensity at Montilivi. The match will take place this Sunday, November 30, at 9 p.m., in a setting that promises strong emotions.

Girona arrives with positive feelings after an irregular start. In the last league match, Míchel's men secured a valuable draw against Betis in a Cartuja stadium with more than 64,000 fans. Moreover, in their last game at Montilivi, the Girona team defeated Alavés, boosting their confidence in front of their fans.

Real Madrid, under the direction of Xabi Alonso, is going through a moment of certain doubts. They have not won in three matches: they lost 1-0 to Liverpool in the Champions League and have drawn their last two league games against Rayo Vallecano and Elche. Even so, the white team boasts a lineup of stars like Mbappé, Bellingham, Vinícius, or Courtois, capable of deciding any match.

The precedents at Montilivi confirm that this duel is synonymous with spectacle. Although Real Madrid has achieved more victories there, Girona has experienced historic nights in front of their fans. The 2-1 victory in 2017, in their first encounter in the Primera Division, marked a milestone for the club, while the 4-2 in 2023, with Taty Castellanos' four-goal performance, remains alive in collective memory. Madrid has also showcased their quality, as in the 0-3 win last season, reminding everyone of the magnitude of the challenge Girona faces.

The anticipation is at its peak. Girona seeks a victory that will allow them to reconnect with the league and find the stability they have lacked at the start of this season. Real Madrid, on the other hand, wants to keep their title aspirations intact and reaffirm their competitive authority. Montilivi will witness a night of tension and emotion, with the fans ready to push their team towards another great achievement.
