Gazzaniga’s left hand and Remiro’s left foot, plus Valery’s poor aim in the 94th minute, prevented Montilivi’s score from moving. But, without goals, the match between Girona and Real Sociedad was wonderful, played at a very high pace due to the forward and constant pressure exerted by both teams, practically deployed one against one.
La Real tried to make it pause in the second half and increased the ball possession rate, but Girona, exhausted, had a final outburst of fury that locked the San Sebastian team in the area, to the point that the visitors celebrated victoriously. the point, how expensive it was for the local eleven.

“This way, Madrid wins”
The match leaves one to remember the goal disallowed to Yangel Herrera in the first half, a diving header to a passed cross by Sávio. It took Gil Manzano three minutes to invalidate it; the three minutes that corresponded almost to the previous action that induced Del Cerro Grande, in the VAR, to suggest the illegality of the goal from Savio’s start. From that moment until Yangel’s shot, there had been two crosses and two rejections in the realistic area. Yangel, near the end, saw a yellow card that eliminated him from the Bernabéu event, as did Blind, with the game over, and Míchel was sent off for protesting, and will not be able to lead the team from the bench either. “This is how Madrid wins,” Montilivi sang, with the fly behind his ear.

Portu, the center forward
Míchel, who ordered Eric to reappear after his injury, placed Portu as center forward to take advantage of the sweet moment he is going through, with two goals and two assists in the last five interventions. He put a lot of pressure on Portu, running back and forth against his former team, but he was never in a position to connect any shots.
Their companions did not find the usual reference in the area. Stuani was reserved until the final stretch, while Dovbyk, with knee discomfort, witnessed the duel from the stands; The risk, if it had to be taken, will be at the Bernabéu, in the big duel on the next day. Real were also missing several starters, including those with their national teams (the Japanese Take in the Asia Cup, the Malian Hamara Traoré eliminated yesterday in the Africa Cup) and Merino, Sadiq and Le Normand, reserved on the bench for the Cup semi-final on Tuesday.
