Three days before playing their Champions League first leg against RB Leipzig, another crucial meeting presents itself for Real Madrid.
On Saturday February 10, the Merengue challenge the Catalans of Girona.
A match which already seems almost decisive for the title between the first and the second in La Liga.
Led by Jude Bellingham, top scorer in La Liga with 14 goals, Real Madrid have not lost in the league since a setback at the end of September at their neighbor Atlético Madrid (3-1, 6th day).
At the start of 2024, Carlo Ancelotti's men are even in very good shape.
They won the Spanish Super Cup against FC Barcelona (4-1) and won all their La Liga matches except the return against Atlético on the last day (1-1).

Against them, Girona is also in a good situation in the championship.
Undefeated since the defeat in the first leg against Real Madrid (0-3 at home, 8th day), the Catalan club, best attack in La Liga with 52 goals, is firmly holding on to second place.
The Blanquivermells only experienced one failure in January: elimination in Mallorca (3-2) in the Spanish Cup.
The winner of this match will gain the upper hand over their rival in the title race, while they will remain behind with 14 matches to play.
Real Madrid-Girona kicks off on Saturday February 10 at 6:30 p.m. on beIN Sports 2.
