DBasia.news – A shock defeat occurred at the Santiago Bernabeu, the headquarters of Real Madrid when they host Girona in Week 24 of La Liga. Santiago Solari’s side lost 1-2 on Sunday (17/2) night.
Judging by Madrid’s defeat, Gary Lineker also believes Barcelona will return to be La Liga champions this season. Lineker expressed his opinion that through his personal twitter account after a while after Madrid lost.
“Goodness. Real Madrid lost at home to Girona, which means Barcelona will defend their title. How beautiful,” Lineker wrote on his personal tweet account on Monday (2/18 ).
The defeat made Madrid still in the third position with a collection of 45 points. Los Blancos – nickname Madrid – nine points behind Barcelona who are still comfortable in the first position.
Madrid could avoid the shocking defeat because it had the upper hand through Casemiro’s goal in the 25th minute. However, Girona’s two goals made by Cristhian Stuani (65 ‘) and Portu (75’) in the second round were able to turn things around instantly.
After two goals from Girona were created, Madrid tried hard to equalize. However, a variety of Madrid attacks can be countered by Girona’s defense so that defeat cannot be avoided.
In addition to losing, Madrid also had to accept another bitter reality when the captain, Sergio Ramos, received a red card in the 90th minute. The red card made Ramos be sidelined when Madrid face Levante this weekend.
