Real Madrid is once again within striking distance of Barcelona atop the La Liga standings thanks to a dominant 0–3 victory over Girona.
Hours after Barcelona dropped points against Real Betis, Real Madrid secured all three points against Girona. The defending Spanish and European champions now sit two points behind Hansi Flick's men with a game in hand.
Despite getting off to a slow start, Real Madrid ended the night with three goals and a clean sheet. Jude Bellingham bossed the game for the visitors, finding the back of the net in the 36th minute and then assisting Arda Güler's wonderful strike in the second half. Kylian Mbappé even joined in on the scoring after taking full responsibility for Los Blancos' midweek defeat to Athletic Bilbao.
Carlo Ancelotti's side did not come out unscathed, though. Both Bellingham and Ferland Mendy were forced to come off the pitch due to injury, casting a rather gloomy shadow on an otherwise fantastic night.
Here's three things we learned from Real Madrid's latest La Liga win.
