Prediction: 2-0
Girona
Real Madrid and Girona square off agaisnt each other at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in a David-vs-Goliath clash. Los Blancos are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win, but Carlo Ancelotti must warn his men against complacency. Both Luka Modric and Fede Valverde, who suffered injuries in a 3-1 win over Sevilla, miss Sunday’s clash, as well as Benzema, Ceballos, and Diaz. Brazil international Rodrygo is widely expected to lead the line for the reigning champions.
The Catalans, on the other hand, had no more than seven goal attempts in a 1-1 draw with Osasuna, and given their poor away record (0-1-4) in the 2022/2023 La Liga campaign, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to the Spanish capital, but veteran attacker Stuani could sneak into the starting line-up.
Highlighted Player (Karim Benzema):
Striker Karim Benzema came through his youth club Bron Terraillon in Olympique Lyon were he went through all the youth teams.
On January 15, 2005 Benzema made his debut for the first team of Lyon that season but did not have much playing time. In the 2007-2008 season he was indeed a permanent fixture in the team and he got his break . He grew that season right into a crowd favorite and clubs like Arsenal, Juventus, Manchester United, Real Madrid and AC Milan showed interest in him.
Benzema in 2008 (like 2005, 2006, and 2007) was in the champions with Olympique Lyon and had no interest in leaving France. In 2008, Karim was named best French footballer.
Highlighted Team (Girona):
After several unsuccessful attempts, finally secured promotion to Primera Division at the end of the 2016/2017 season. The Catalan outfit finished the campaign in second place in the standings, 14 points behind Levante and only two clear of third-placed Getafe. Girona play their home games at Montilivi and the capacity of the venue is 9.286.
Speaking of the club history, Girona were founded in the café Norat in La Rambla of Girona on July 23, 1930 and they played their first official game against Colonia Artigas. A number of Spanish coaches were in charge of the team in the past, but it has to be noted that Uruguayan tactician Dagoberto Moll (1965/1966) and Karoly Plattko (1948/1949) of Hungary were in charge of the club as well.
The Catalan team wear white shirts with red stripes when playing at home, while the colour of their shorts is blue. The team’s away kits are blue and black and Sporting Gijon are considered one of Girona’s fiercest rivals.
