Facing Real Sociedad this Saturday, Girona failed to win and can see Real Madrid slip away at the top of La Liga.
While the FC Barcelona won on the Alaves pitch, Girona received the Real Sociedad with the opportunity to temporarily take the lead in La Liga from Real Madrid, who face Atlético on Sunday.
A disallowed goal and a controversy
But facing PSG’s future opponent in the Champions League, Michel’s players – the best attack in the championship – failed to find the fault. They thought they had found it in the 24th minute thanks to a goal from Yangel Herrerabut the VAR returned to an offside by the Venezuelan having taken place 37 seconds before the action of the goal, sufficient to create a new controversy on the refereeing in Spain.
The two teams finally separated with a score of 0-0 and therefore left Real the opportunity to take a four-point lead at the top of the championship in the event of a victory against their rival on Sunday. For their part, the Basques remain 6th, 10 points from the top 4.
