An unprecedented fact occurred on the afternoon of Tuesday (25), Castellanos, an Argentine striker from Girona, was responsible for scoring, by himself, four goals against Real Madrid, for the Spanish championship. The last one who had committed this feat was Robert Lewandowski, in 2013, when the Pole was still playing for Borussia Dortmund.
Real Madrid suffer defeat by Girona in the 31st round of La Liga and find themselves far from the title
For the 31st round of La Liga, the meringues lost to Girona, by 4-2, at the Montilivi Stadium. With this result, Real remains in second place, with 65 points and will face Almería, on Saturday, at 1:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Santiago Bernabéu.
With the score of the match practically said goodbye to the title chances of the Spanish Championship, since the current difference for the leader Barcelona is of 11 points.
Taty Castellanos was the big name of the match
The top scorer, who was once a target for Palmeiras, shone in today’s match and made his name in history by scoring four goals against none other than the current champion of the Champions League and the world, Real Madrid. The meringues haven’t suffered a poker-trick for 10 years and in LaLiga, this hasn’t happened since 1947.
Revaled by Chilean football and loaned by New York City to Girona, Castellanos lives his first in Europe. As much as he is a rookie and still very young, the Argentine has a nose for goals. After all, he has already scored 12 goals in the 2022/23 season, 11 in LaLiga and 1 in the Copa del Rey.
In an interview after the game, the player said: “It was a dream night. It’s happiness, I never imagined that. Enjoying with people, my family, the people of Argentina who always support me. That’s fundamental.”
Vini Jr and yet another dissatisfaction with LaLiga
It’s not because the meringues didn’t win that it means that the Brazilian player didn’t shine. On the contrary, he was one of those responsible for decreasing for Real Madrid. With today’s performance, Vini scored his 10th goal for the Spanish championship, in addition to having 7 assists.
As much as he is already a world idol, the player is still going through complicated issues for the championship. This time, he disputed with Bueno on the left end, went down asking for a free kick and saw Girona’s number 22 kick the ball against his body. The referee scored only lateral in the bid, and the Brazilian argued vehemently with the rival – receiving a yellow card afterwards.
During the discussion, Vini heard Girona’s fans make criticisms and noises, however, he was not intimidated. He teased showing the world champion patch located on Real’s uniform to rival fans.
