FC Barcelona suffered an unexpected defeat at Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish La Liga. However, Barca maintain their lead in the table because Real Madrid embarrassed themselves at promoted Girona.
Leader Barcelona surprisingly lost 2-1 at Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday evening (April 26th, 2023) and conceded the first bankruptcy following seven league games without defeat. Alvaro Garcia (19th minute) and Fran Garcia (53rd) gave Rayo the lead, Robert Lewandowski’s goal (83rd) came too late for Barca. With his 18th goal of the season, Lewandowski was able to overcome his more than three-week jam.
Barca remain at the top with 11 points ahead of Real
The Catalans remain at the top of the table following Matchday 31 with 76 points, but the bankruptcy missed a great opportunity to extend the eleven-point lead over Real Madrid (65 points).
Girona’s Castellanos disgraced Real Madrid
The “Royal” had already suffered a sensitive 2: 4 defeat at promoted FC Girona on Tuesday evening.
Girona striker Taty Castellanos wrote Spanish football history: The 24-year-old Argentinian was the first professional in this millennium to score a four-pack (12th minute/24th/46th/62nd) in the league once morest Real. In Spain, four hits in a game by a player are called “poker”.
Attacker Vinicius (34th) with his tenth goal of the season and Lucas Vazquez (85th) scored for Madrid. DFB defense chief Antonio Rüdiger played like ex-national player Toni Kroos with the “Royal”.
