Modric Stunner Fires Real Madrid to Victory Over Girona in La Liga

Posted : 24 February 2025

Real Madrid climbed to second place in La Liga with a crucial victory over Girona, ending a three-game winless streak. Luka Modric opened the scoring with a spectacular goal, chesting the ball down before unleashing a stunning half-volley from 25 yards past Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga.

 

With England midfielder Jude Bellingham absent due to suspension, Real controlled much of the game, and Vinicius Junior sealed the win with a composed finish in the 83rd minute after being played through by Kylian Mbappe.

 

Girona had their chances, with Donny van de Beek forcing a fine save from Thibaut Courtois early on after latching onto Arnaut Danjuma’s flick. In the second half, Lucas Vazquez nearly doubled Real's lead, but his powerful shot narrowly missed the post.

 

Girona's best opportunity came in the 56th minute when Danjuma broke free, only to send his effort wide of the near post. Two minutes later, Vinicius came close to scoring as well, rattling the crossbar with a fierce strike before finally finding the net later on.

 

The match also marked a special moment for David Alaba, who returned to Real Madrid’s starting lineup for the first time in 434 days after recovering from an ACL injury. With the win, Real Madrid remain level on points with Barcelona but trail on goal difference, while Atletico Madrid sits just a point behind in third.

 

Up next, the European champions face Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey semi-finals on Wednesday as they continue their pursuit of silverware.
