The 2023-24 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Girona lock horns with Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side in a crucial encounter at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.
Real Madrid vs Girona Preview
Girona are currently in second place in the La Liga standings and have consistently punched above their weight so far this season. The Catalan outfit played out a disappointing 0-0 stalemate against Real Sociedad last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have come into their own in recent weeks. Los Blancos were held to a hard-fought 1-1 draw by Atletico Madrid in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
