• Real Madrid have lost on each of their last two visits to face Catalan teams in LaLiga and could suffer three defeats in a row on Catalan soil in the competition for the second time in the 21st century, after the three between 2004 and 2005.
• Girona have won each of their first three home games in LaLiga 2023-24, their best home start in a top-flight campaign.
• Carlo Ancelotti has beaten 26 of the 27 teams he has faced in LaLiga as coach of Real Madrid, with Girona being the only exception (GP2 D1 L1).
• Real Madrid have won only one of their three visits to Municipal de Montilivi in LaLiga, 1-4 in August 2018, losing in the other two. Girona are the opponent where Real Madrid have the highest percentage of league defeats away from home in the 21st century (67%).

Harry Kane is back in the starting lineup for Bayern Munich after being an unused substitute during his side's 4-0 German cup triumph over Preussen Meunster in midweek.
