Real Madrid's struggle in La Liga continues. In the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid play like nobody can beat them. But they are very ordinary in their own league, La Liga. Last night, Girona humiliated the Spanish giant at Montilivi Stadium, where the home side scored four goals against the Los Blancos. Girona striker Valentin Castellanos scored all four goals for Girona to beat Real Madrid.

As it happened

Last night, Girona hosted Real Madrid in La Liga at Montilivi Stadium. Girona's boss played his team in a 4-1-4-1 formation. On the other hand, Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti set up the team formation with his usual 4-3-3. Karim Benzema missed that match due to injury. Therefore, Vinicius Junior led the attack with Rodrygo and Asensio. However, the match started with Real Madrid dominating the home side. Real could have scored in the very first minute, but Rodrygo's backheel was blocked by Girona's goalkeeper. But Girona stunned the visitors in the 12th minute as Valentin Castellanos scored for the home team. The striker doubled the lead by scoring another goal within 12 minutes. This time, he found the net with an assist from Martinez. Conceding two goals in 24 minutes, Real Madrid had gone crazy to return. They highly pressed the home team and created some important chances. Finally, Vinicius returned a goal in the 34th minute for Real Madrid. He converted Asensio's cross into a goal with a beautiful header. It seemed Real Madrid could make another comeback. But the second half was a total disaster for the Los Blancos. Returning from the break, Girona got their third goal immediately. Guess who scored that one? He was none other than Valentin Castellanos. The Argentine completed his hat-trick against Real Madrid by netting the ball for the third time in this match. Valentin Castellanos was literally unstoppable last night against the Los Blancos. He scored his fourth goal of the match in the 62nd minute. However, Real Madrid returned a goal in the very last moment as Lucas Vazquez found the net in the 85th minute with Vinicius' assist. But it helped nothing to avoid a 4-2 defeat to Girona.
