Real Madrid made a strong statement about their return with a 3-0 victory over Girona in round 16 of La Liga on the morning of December 8.

After the embarrassing defeat at San Mamés to Athletic Bilbao on 5 December, Real Madrid players were worried about facing Michel’s Girona – a team that always plays with an active and energetic attacking style. However, those worries were dispelled when Carlo Ancelotti’s team put in a convincing performance, with an impressive 3-0 victory, not only bringing three points but also an important turning point in the journey to restore the reputation of “Los Blancos”.
This was a team victory, and individual excellence helped Real Madrid regain their strong image.
The season has just started for Bellingham, Modric
Jude Bellingham continued to show why he is Real Madrid’s most valuable signing in recent years, scoring a crucial opener and showing his maturity.
Bellingham’s goal kicked off a perfect performance, helping Real Madrid regain control of the game and erase their previous difficulties. With this goal, the English midfielder extended his scoring streak to 5 consecutive matches in La Liga, affirming his role as the leader of the club’s play.
Not only did Bellingham score, he also put in an all-round performance with a classy assist for Guler for the second goal. He continues to show remarkable progress and, most importantly, is a shining example of dedication and determination.
However, Bellingham’s injury late in the game raised concerns about his fitness, but fortunately it was just a sign of fatigue, and the former Borussia Dortmund star will soon be back in shape for the challenges ahead, especially the decisive match against Atalanta in Bergamo (Italy). Real Madrid cannot do without him in the fight to regain European glory.

Luka Modric has once again shown why he is one of the best midfielders in the world. At Montilivi, he is not only a playmaker, but also a driving force behind the attacking play.
Like a true conductor, Modric controlled the tempo of the game, distributed the ball delicately, and especially, he had an impressive pass that helped Mbappe score, affirming the understanding between the players. When talented players like Modric and Bellingham combine, Real Madrid show unstoppable strength.
Mbappe’s goal was a testament to the brilliance of the duo. The Frenchman not only scored but also kept moving, looking for opportunities and proving that he is a player who is always ready to meet expectations.
With 11 goals this season (9 in La Liga), Mbappé has gradually regained his confidence, returning to the version of one of the most dangerous strikers in the league. Surely, the former PSG star will end the season with more than 30 goals if he continues this form.

3 important points
The win over Girona was a huge morale boost, confirming that Real Madrid were alive and well, ready to get back into the title race. After the defeat to Athletic Bilbao, the players went into the match at Montilivi with a completely different spirit.
Not only did they regain their confidence, but they also showed their ability to overcome difficulties, especially in the context of Barcelona dropping points at Benito Villamarín. This helped “Los Blancos” recover their “comeback mode”, ready to fight to reclaim glory.
Carletto’s players took to the field with determination, ready to regain control of the La Liga race. With a full squad, especially the combination of Bellingham, Modric and Mbappe, Real Madrid gradually regained the form and fighting spirit that helped them dominate European football for many years.
This was an important win for Real Madrid, not just in terms of points but also in terms of morale. With Bellingham’s improvement, Modric’s strong return and Mbappe’s steady improvement, Ancelotti’s side have regained their position. However, this will only be meaningful if they can maintain their form and continue to improve other factors, especially in defence.
Real Madrid cannot afford to be complacent, and while Barcelona may have struggled, in a competitive season, any mistake can be costly. However, with performances like the one against Girona, the Whites can look forward to a bright future, where they will return to the top not only in La Liga but also in Europe.
If Real Madrid continue to maintain their form and unity, they will be a formidable opponent in every arena. And no one can doubt the determination and strength of the royal team, especially when they have found their winning rhythm again.
