Cristiano Ronaldo
Girona hit for six.
Guess who?
Cristiano Ronaldo gets his fourth goal of the game, slotting home a finish from 12 yards out from Toni Kroos's pass.
What a thriller this has been, pure entertainment.

Juanpe
Goalfest.
Real Madrid have been shocking at the back to and leave Girona defender Juanpe unmarked from six yards out.
Thank you very much, he says, rising to plant a header in at the far post.

Gareth Bale
That does it.
The sub subs combine for Real Madrid's fifth.
Former Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric plays the ball through to another ex-Spurs man Gareth Bale, who beats the offside trap.
The ball is on his weaker right foot, but Welshman Bale clips a lovely finish past Yassine Bounou.
That will work wonders for his confidence.

Lewis Amadi: If 2 players score a hattrick each... who goes with the match ball....?
Great question. Any ideas?
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 82 mins
Real Madrid 4-2 Girona
A final change for Real Madrid, not a defensive one either.
Karim Benzema, who has had a good game for his side, gets the applause from the home fans as he is replaced by Isco.
Also a change for Girona, Aday Benitez on for the on-loan Manchester City man Pablo Maffeo.

What are Real Madrid playing at at the back?
Raphael Varane sells goalkeeper Keylor Navas short with a backpass, Cristhian Stuani nips up but his shot from the angle is blocked by the Costa Rican goalkeeper.
Into the last 10 minutes, a Girona goal will set us up for a very exciting finish.

We have seen one hat-trick and almost see another.
Cristhian Stuani meets Alex Granell's dangerous free-kick, but cannot get enough on it and the ball drifts wide of the post.

babatunde sakiru: Never right off Benzema, I believe Zidane gave him a positive advice.
Hahaha. Well played!

Real Madrid continue to make these silly fouls in their own half, this time Lucas Vazquez on Johan Mojica down the left.
They have to be careful.

Real Madrid continue their sloppiness at the back with centre-back Raphael Varane conceding a corner.
But what's happened here?
Alex Granell mis-kicks his corner and it ends up on the halfway line.
Chance gone.

Cristhian Stuani
Hello! That man again.
Cristhian Stuani bags his second of the game, again with his head, outmuscling Dani Carvajal at the back post to squeeze one in at the far post.
Don't publish those Girona obituaries just yet.

Game over you would think, but Cristhian Stuani is still making the runs and gets dispossessed on the edge of the box.
Girona get a free-kick on the right.
