Wed Feb 26 22:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Real Madrid Edges Girona 2-0, Stays in LaLiga Title Hunt
**MADRID, SPAIN** – Real Madrid responded to weekend wins by Barcelona and Atlético Madrid with a 2-0 victory over Girona at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, keeping their La Liga title hopes alive after 25 matchdays. A tight first half saw both goalkeepers, Thibaut Courtois and Paulo Gazzaniga, make key saves. While Kylian Mbappé was a constant threat, it was Luka Modric who broke the deadlock in the 41st minute with a stunning chest-control volley from outside the box following a corner kick.
The second half was less dramatic, leaving the home crowd anxious until a combination between Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior resulted in the Brazilian sealing the victory with a goal against a charging Gazzaniga. The win moves Real Madrid level on points with Barcelona, though they remain second in the table due to inferior goal difference.
