Real Madrid got massive three points against Girona to get back to winning ways in LaLiga. Jude Bellingham had put Real Madrid ahead ten minutes before half-time.

Aurélien Tchouameni came close to scoring his first goal of the season for Real Madrid in the 50th minute, but his effort was saved brilliantly by Paulo Gazzaniga. Five minutes later, Real Madrid doubled their advantage through Arda Güler. A through pass from Bellingham got to the Turkish talent, he beat his marker in pace, then played the ball past Gazzaniga from the left side.
Kylian Mbappé made it three for Real Madrid in the 62nd minute, taking his tally to 200 club goals. Girona had the chance to reduce the deficit when Arnaut Danjuma found himself in a good position on the left side, but he played his shot straight at Thibaut Courtois.
