In search of top spot at Montilivi
Real Madrid visit Girona for LaLiga matchday 8 (6:30pm CET).
Real Madrid go into the last of the three league games to be played in just seven days this evening. After defeating Las Palmas last Wednesday at the Bernabéu, this time our team visits Montilivi to face Girona, who started matchday eight as league leaders 6:30 CET.
A top-of-the-table clash in which Ancelotti's side, who have scored in all eight games this season, will be aiming to take all three points and move back to the top of the table. It won't be easy, as they will be up against a team who have yet to taste defeat.
