Coach Carlo Ancelotti’s team, with Toni Kroos and Antonio Rüdiger in the starting line-up, won 3-2 (0-2) against winless bottom team UD Almeria after a successful comeback and took the lead in the table ahead of FC Girona for a few hours.
However, the surprise team then celebrated a dominant victory against Sevilla FC and overtook them again. But the Royals also played one game less. Girona’s Artem Dovbyk shone with a six-minute hat trick to make it 5:1 (3:1).
Largie Ramazani shocked Real with the opening goal after 39 seconds, Edgar Gonzalez (43′) increased the score for the underdogs before the break. In the second half, the Royal team successfully defended themselves against the impending embarrassment. The ex-Dortmund Jew Bellingham converted a hand penalty (56th), Vinicius Junior equalized (67th) and the former Leverkusen player Daniel Carvajal (90th + 9) ensured the happy success.
FC Barcelona celebrated a 4-2 (1-0) win at Betis Sevilla and is now third, seven points behind Real. Ferran Torres (21′, 48′) initially gave the defending champions the lead, while Isco (56′, 59′) equalized for the hosts. Joker Joao Felix (90th) and again Torres (90th + 2) ensured the guests’ victory late on. National team captain Ilkay Gündogan played through for Barca, Robert Lewandowski was substituted in the 63rd minute. The goalscorer was replaced by 18-year-old Vitor Roque.
