Girona – Real Madrid averted an embarrassing defeat late on Sunday evening – but the lead in the Spanish Primera Division is a thing of the past for the time being: The Royals couldn’t get past a 1-1 (0-1) draw at Girona FC. Kylian Mbappé secured the draw with his goal from a penalty kick (67th), but Real still has to stay in second place behind FC Barcelona with 33 points. David Alaba was not in the squad for Xabi Alonso’s team.
