#2 Poor display by Rea Madrid fullbacks
In the absence of injured right-back Dani Carvajal, Achraf Hakimi started on the right side of defence for his second successive La Liga game with Marcelo on the left.
Marcelo surprisingly had a poor game on the left and Achraf Hakimi wasn't good either. Marcelo was troubled throughout the game by the brilliant duo of Cristian Portu and Pablo Maffeo. Both full backs could not handle Girona's counter-attacking play and left spaces open on both the flanks.
They had a total of 0 interceptions and 1 tackle in the whole game compared to 8 and 6 respectively by their Girona compatriots Pablo Maffeo and Aday. Zidane was left with no option but to withdraw both his underperforming full backs as he went searching for goals.
Marcelo & Achraf Hakimi's poor combined stats:
Interceptions - 0
Total Tackles - 1
Clearances - 2
Crosses - 3
