With this win, Real Madrid's points tally rises to 61, placing them at the top of the La Liga standings, while Girona remains at 56 points in second place.
The match started with pressure from the home team, and Vinícius Júnior succeeded in scoring the opening goal in the 6th minute with a powerful shot from the edge of the box to the far left of goalkeeper Gazzaniga. Real Madrid continued their attempts, with Fede Valverde taking a free kick that Gazzaniga managed to catch easily. Bellingham also tried a shot from the edge of the box that went just past the left post in the 32nd minute.
Bellingham scored the second goal for Real Madrid in the 35th minute, receiving a through pass from Vinícius Júnior. He surged forward, dribbled past goalkeeper Gazzaniga, and placed the ball into the net. At the start of the second half, Girona's Alex Garcia threatened Real Madrid's goal with a shot from outside the box that went beside the right post.
Bellingham added his second personal goal and the third for Real Madrid in the 54th minute. Following impressive individual effort from Vinícius, who dribbled past Girona's defense and took a shot that was saved by Gazzaniga, the rebound fell to Bellingham, who slotted it into the empty net. Bellingham suffered an ankle sprain after a collision with Pablo Torre and could not continue, leading coach Carlo Ancelotti to substitute him with Ibrahim Díaz in the 57th minute.
Rodrygo received a cross from Tchouaméni and leapt to head the ball just over the crossbar in the 59th minute. He then showcased individual brilliance after receiving a pass from Vinícius, dribbling past Girona's defense and shooting to the lower left of Gazzaniga to score the fourth goal for Real Madrid in the 61st minute.
Ibrahim Díaz missed an opportunity to add a fifth goal in the 82nd minute, running down the left side and shooting just past the left post. Girona's Savinho appealed for a penalty in the 87th minute after a challenge with Fran García, but the referee awarded nothing. Yan Couto committed a harsh foul on Arda Güler inside the box, prompting the referee to award a penalty to Real Madrid. Substitute Joselu stepped up to take the penalty, hitting the right post and missing the chance to score the fifth goal.
The referee blew the final whistle, confirming Real Madrid's retention of the La Liga lead.
