Real Madrid shattered Girona’s dream and their coach gave a particular vision after the 0-4 at the Santiago Bernabéu

It was an unappealable resultas if to mark the field and put the history books back on the field. Real Madrid beats Girona 4-0the big revelation of the season in Spain, to get five points as leader of the ranking. Many would not see a positive door in such a lapidary result and performance, except that Michellethe coach of the Catalan team who is experiencing an unforgettable season.

“It’s not a painful defeat, it’s a learning process to put ourselves back in our place. Our rival is not Real Madrid, we’re not quite at that level. We’re in a dream and we continue to do so”defended the DT in a press conference.

“I could have played a match to win. You can lose 1-0 in defence, in a low block with three central defenders. Our moment as a club requires us to give our best version of what we have done during the year and it shows who we were on their own merits. They painted my face and it serves as a learning experience.”he confided.

“When we played La Liga at the Bernabéu, we knew inside that it wasn’t our goal. We wanted to have a good match and fight face to face with Real Madrid. It didn’t happen to us and the maximum responsibility is mine because I asked for maximum pressure. I exposed the players because it was the moment. Let there be no criticism towards them, the maximum responsibility is mine. We had nothing to lose, a lot to gain and we are in a privileged situation,” he added.

And he closed: “Our championship is Athletic, Betis, Valencia. We cannot be in Real Madrid’s championship. We take points from Barcelona and Atlético but they are not from our championship, they are three transatlantics. We are not the fourth candidate , so “I’ve always thought so. Let’s put on our overalls out of humility and if we continue to work we are candidates for Europe.”

The party, without objection

La Liga leaders Real Madrid settled their match with second-placed Girona with a solid 4-0, with another play from Jude Bellingham.

The Brazilian Vinicius Jr opened the scoring in the first minutes of the game (6) and two more goals from the English midfielder (35, 54) knocked out Girona, who conceded again a few minutes later after a nice individual action by Rodrygo ( 61).

“It was a fundamental match for us and very important to win. All matches are, but this one a little more, we are happy with the victory”Rodrygo said on Real Madrid television.

The merengue midfield imposed its tactical power thanks to a great performance from Bellingham, in total rapport with Vinicius: the Brazilian assisted the Englishman in the first of his two goals and was also behind the second, after a shot by Vinicius it was blocked by Gazzaniga at the feet of Bellingham, who only had to push the ball into the back of the net.

Thanks to his brace, the Englishman is the only top scorer in the championship, with 16 goals, to which we must add another 4 in the Champions League.

Joselu earned a penalty in the last action that could have made it 5-0, but the post saved the Argentine goalkeeper Paolo Gazzaniga.

With this victory, Real Madrid distances itself with 61 points against Girona’s 56, a comfortable lead in the league before the trip to Leipzig on Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.

The only bad news was the departure of Jude Bellingham due to an ankle injury shortly after his second goal (57th). Coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed post-match that he had suffered a sprain and that its severity will be assessed on Sunday.

“Bellingham has a sprained ankle, they will evaluate it tomorrow (Sunday). We hope he can recover by Tuesday”the Italian announced in a press conference.
