Real Madrid haven't failed and have taken advantage of Barcelona's latest setback to place themselves just 2 points behind the leaders of La Liga. They have done so after beating Girona at Montilivi by 0 goals to 3, on a night in which Kylian Mbappé has scored again. After the match, the Frenchman has been forceful with the rest of his teammates and has sent them a message.
Speaking privately about the possibility of taking the lead in La Liga, Mbappé has been blunt: "It's possible." They have taken advantage of Barça's latest gift, which has drawn with Betis, and have already set a date in the locker room to get the top spot in the league table. They have it clear at Real Madrid : it will happen, at the latest, on January 2 .
So, the Real Madrid locker room, with Mbappé at the helm, sees the possibility of taking the lead in La Liga as a New Year's gift . The postponed La Liga match against Valencia will be played on January 2 at Mestalla. If Ancelotti 's men and Barça win all their games to date, that will be the moment when they can take the lead.
Against Girona, further proof that they can win by playing well if they set their mind to it. At Montilivi everything started with a goal from Bellingham, while Arda Güler and Kylian Mbappé completed the rout . The feeling is good, especially considering that the next match will be the Champions League match against Atalanta .
