Carried by their Bellingham-Vinicius duo, Real Madrid crushed Girona 4-0 during the shock of the 24th day of La Liga. Real extends its lead in the standings to 5 points.
Already victorious in the first leg (3-0), the Merengue club signed a new collective demonstration and brought back to reality the small Catalan club, which hoped to offer itself in the capital the right to continue dreaming of a first title champion of Spain.
Relegated five lengths from its evening opponent after this second defeat of the season, Girona will now have to perform flawlessly and hope for missteps from Real, to possibly become the first club to steal the crown from the big three of Spain (Real Barça, Atlético) from Valencia twenty years ago.
Vinicius Junior launched his team perfectly from twenty meters (6th, 1-0) before ‘Pichichi’ Jude Bellingham scored twice (36th, 54th).
Visibly injured in an ankle, the English midfielder left the field to a standing ovation from the Bernabéu and Rodrygo added a fourth goal a few minutes later (61st, 4-0).
