A few hours before the match against Girona, the white club announced the injury of Rüdiger, He will be out for two weeks, and that means all of Ancelotti’s center backs are injured. It seemed a bad outlook for the match against a Girona team that went all out at the Bernabéu to regain the lead.

Ancelotti’s men, for their part, are waiting for the visitor’s mistake to go on the counterattack and look for another goal. The truth is, in that direct play, white is about to score again. And they did. It was Bellingham in the 35th minute who scored 2-0 after a great pass from Vinicius.
