It's halftime at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Spanish La Liga game between reigning champions Real Madrid and Girona with Luka Modric's spectacular effort separating the two teams. The home team dominated the first half but struggled to break Girona's resilience until the 41st minute when the Croatia national team captain scored a golazo to give Real Madrid the lead before halftime. Real Madrid needs to win this game to keep their hopes of overtaking league leaders Barcelona alive and leading 1:0 at halftime against Girona, I think they should be able to snatch a victory at full time.
Madrid successfully got three points from this game with a 2 goals lead ahead of Girona. Now on the table Madrid is moved to close the gap from Barcelona. They are now having the same points but are been separated by the goal difference. This is the advantage Barcelona has gotten when they were winning with very good and huge goal differences at the beginning of the season. At this point it's clear we have two strong contenders and till the season ends we cannot say for sire who's getting the title.
