The Digest:
Real Madrid's La Liga title hopes suffered a major blow after a 1-1 draw with Girona at the Bernabeu. Federico Valverde scored shortly after half-time, but Thomas Lemar equalised on the hour mark. Kylian Mbappe had an off night, missing several chances and firing a late effort straight at the goalkeeper. Los Blancos could now trail Barcelona by nine points with seven games remaining if their rivals win on Saturday. A miracle may be needed to catch Barcelona.
Key Points:
- Mbappe received a low rating of 5/10 for his wayward showing.
- Vinicius Jr was unlucky not to score, putting three shots on target.
- Arbeloa's focus may have been split with a Champions League tie midweek.
- A goalkeeping error from Gazzaniga allowed Valverde's strike to go in.
- Madrid needs a miracle to hunt down Barcelona now.
