Real Madrid's David Alaba suffers torn ACL in win over Villarreal
Think beyond this injury and by looking at the standing table, is this a season reserved by destiny for Girona to make a big shock in La Liga like Leicester City did seasons ago in Premier League. So far only Real Madrid are closely with Girona and Girona have very good gaps against two other clubs in top four, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. If this injury damages Real Madrid defense system in coming months, Girona will be given a very good chance to maintain their first position.

Carlo Ancelotti said he's "never seen three cruciate ligament injuries in four months" after David Alaba joined Thibaut Courtois and Éder Militão on Real Madrid's long-term injury list, with the coach admitting the club could now consider a move for a defender in January.
Centre-back Alaba was substituted in the 35th minute of Madrid's 4-1 LaLiga win over Villarreal on Sunday after his knee appeared to buckle as he challenged for the ball in the centre circle at the Santiago Bernabeu.
ACL injury sucks and this will take some months for Alaba to return. It's very possibly that Alaba will lose all of this season by this injury and if luckily enough, he will be able to return in a last month of this season. This injury of Alaba will bring more issues to Real Madrid's defense system. I wish best for the player and hope he will return healthy and can play normally too.Centre-back Alaba was substituted in the 35th minute of Madrid's 4-1 LaLiga win over Villarreal on Sunday after his knee appeared to buckle as he challenged for the ball in the centre circle at the Santiago Bernabeu.
