    Girona 2-1 Real Madrid

    This is getting embarrassing for Girona now.

    The home players are popping the ball off to each other and the 'oles' are ringing out from the crowd.

    Girona 2-1 Real Madrid

    Real Madrid getting impatient as Toni Kroos blasts a shot over the bar from the edge of the box.

    Just under 30 minutes remaining for Zinedine Zidane's side to turn this game around.

    Cristian Portu

    What is happening here???

    Girona go forward on the next attack and score again!

    On-loan Manchester City full-back Pablo Maffeo is completely free inside the box and shoots towards goal, but Cristian Portu just makes sure by backheeling a finish from close range.

    Was he offside? It was tight, Portu won't care though.

    Champions Real Madrid are falling apart in Catalonia.

    LOOK AT CRISTIANO RONALDO'S FACE!!

    WOW! Who saw this coming?

    Pere Pons is the architect of this goal, weaving through the Real Madrid defence, beating three or four players.

    Girona get some luck when the ball ricochets off a player in white and it falls to the feet of Cristhian Stuani.

    Can the former Middlesbrough striker keep his composure? Indeed he can. Turning inside of sub Nacho before coolly slotting a finish back Kiko Casilla.

    Unbelievable scenes in Catalonia.

    Girona 0-1 Real Madrid

    An almighty scramble.

    The balls pings around the box after Icso's cross causes all sorts of confusion. Karim Benzema hooks a shot at goal, which loops over the goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, but he gets back to scramble it clear.

    Le Classique is a classic but are PSG too arrogant? Plus Neymar’s red, Bonucci’s red faced and let’s hear it for little Leganes. Plus the Valencia revival continues, here come Leipzig and who are the worst team in Serie A since the 1940’s?

    Girona hit the woodwork twice in the first half, but Isco's goal gives Real Madrid the advantage at the interval.

    Not that type of player, but Luka Modric is the first man into the book for a late challenge.

    Brilliant challenge.

    Pere Pons is threatening to run clear into the box, but Frenchman Raphael Varane skirts across with an inch-perfect challenge, expertly-timed to thwart the Girona midfielder.

    Girona 0-1 Real Madrid

    Now then. A decent chance for Girona to restore parity after Isco' handles the ball.

    Full-back Aday is the man over the ball, but he whips the set-piece over the crossbar.

    No problems for Kiko Casilla this time.

  15. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 36 mins

    Girona 0-1 Real Madrid

    How has this stayed out???

    Cristian Portu ghosts across the Real Madrid defence at the front post and flicks a header which comes off the far post, rolls across the line to Cristhian Stuani, who cannot direct the rebound back on target.

    Real goalkeeper Kiko Casilla had waved it goodbye. He was beaten, expecting the scoreline to tick 1-1 but the ball stayed out.

    What a left off.

    Cristiano Ronaldo picks out young full-back Achraf Hakimi at the far post, but the Moroccan's volley is cleared.

    Real Madrid have dominated since taking the lead, but have not yet managed to double their advantage.

    Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema's link-up play is a joy to watch, the duo are a step ahead of the rest and know what move the other is going to make.

    On this occasion, the Portuguese plays a pass through to the Frenchman, who blazes his shot over the crossbar.

    He will take the NEXT one, trust me. 😝😝😝

    Karim Benzema, down the right edge of the box, picks out team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo 12 yards out.

    The Portuguese takes it first-time with a left-footed snapshot, but it is at a comfortable height for goalkeeper Yassine Bounou to deal with.

    Better from the Girona number 13.

    Girona fail to clear the ball properly, centre-back Bernardo the culprit.

    It falls to Cristiano Ronaldo on the edge of the box, but he screws his shot wide of goal.

    Actually, it took a nick off a home defender and from the resulting corner, Ronaldo heads over.

    He will take the next one, trust me.

    Girona 0-1 Real Madrid

    Mindless defending by Sergio Ramos, playing a blind backpass to goalkeeper Kiko Casilla.

    The Real Madrid number one has to sprint sharply off his line to clear the ball with ex-Boro striker Cristhian Stuani closing in.
