Real Madrid Triumphs Over Girona with Modric's Stunning Strike
Real Madrid put on a dominant display at the Santiago Bernabéu, securing a well-earned 2-0 victory over Girona. The match was a crucial one for Los Blancos, who were eager to bounce back from a run of three games without a win. With Barcelona narrowly holding onto the top spot on goal difference, Real Madrid needed this win to keep their La Liga title hopes alive. And who better to lead the charge than Luka Modric?
The veteran midfielder opened the scoring in style, proving once again why he remains an essential part of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad. In the 41st minute, Modric controlled the ball on his chest before unleashing a breathtaking half-volley from 25 yards out, leaving Girona’s goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga with no chance. The Bernabéu erupted in celebration, recognizing the brilliance of the Croatian maestro.

Girona had their moments too, with former Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek testing Thibaut Courtois early on. Courtois, returning to his usual world-class form, pulled off a stunning one-handed save to keep Real in control. Girona's best chance came in the second half when Arnaut Danjuma found himself in a great position, only to curl his shot wide of the post. It was a let-off for Madrid, and they made sure to capitalize on it.
As the game approached its final moments, VinÃcius Júnior sealed the win in the 83rd minute. The Brazilian forward latched onto a perfect through ball from Kylian Mbappé, calmly slotting it past the Girona keeper. It was the kind of composure and finishing that Real Madrid fans have come to expect from their attacking stars.
Another highlight of the night was the long-awaited return of David Alaba, who started his first game in 434 days after recovering from an ACL injury. His presence in defense added stability, ensuring Madrid kept a clean sheet.
With this victory, Real Madrid moves up to second place in the league, level on points with Barcelona but trailing on goal difference. Up next, they face Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey semi-finals, where they'll be looking to carry this momentum forward.
For Madrid fans, this was a night to remember—Modric’s magic, VinÃcius’ brilliance, and a step closer to reclaiming the top spot in La Liga!
