Real Madrid ends winless streak with 2-0 win

Real Madrid finally returned to winning ways in La Liga on Sunday with a 2-0 victory over Girona. a spectacular long-range strike from Luka Modric and a late goal from Vinícius Júnior secured los blancos' first league win in nearly a month, bringing them level on points with Barcelona.

Modric’s magic breaks the deadlock

Real Madrid, eager to bounce back from a disappointing run of results, started strongly at the Santiago Bernabéu. Girona, with several Dutch players in their squad, put up a resilient fight, but it was the 39-year-old Luka Modric who provided the breakthrough just before halftime. In the 41st minute, a cleared corner fell to Modric at the edge of the box. controlling the ball with his chest, the Croatian unleashed a stunning strike from 25 meters out, curling it perfectly into the top-right corner. the crowd erupted as the veteran midfielder celebrated another moment of brilliance in his legendary career.

Vinícius Júnior seals the win

Despite Girona’s attempts to fight back, Real Madrid remained in control. seven minutes before full-time, Vinícius Júnior put the result beyond doubt. the Brazilian forward calmly slotted home after a well-worked attacking move, doubling Madrid’s lead and ensuring all three points stayed in the Spanish capital.

Breaking the winless streak

The victory was Real Madrid’s first in La Liga since January 25. Carlo Ancelotti’s side had struggled domestically, suffering a 1-0 defeat to Espanyol and being held to consecutive 1-1 draws against Atlético Madrid and Osasuna. however, their form in the Champions League remained strong, having eliminated Manchester City in midweek. With this win, Real Madrid moves up to second place in La Liga, now level on points with Barcelona, who secured a 2-0 victory over Las Palmas on Saturday. as the title race heats up, Madrid will be looking to build momentum and challenge for the top spot in the coming weeks.
