Follow usReal Madrid clinched their 36th La Liga title after Girona staged a remarkable comeback to stun Barcelona 4-2. The result sealed Los Blancos’ championship triumph as their closest rivals faltered in their quest to keep the title race alive.
Girona’s sensational second-half surge, spearheaded by Portu, propelled them to victory over Barcelona and secured their place in next season’s UEFA Champions League. Portu, introduced as a substitute with his team trailing 2-1, made an instant impact by equalizing with his first touch, courtesy of an unselfish assist from Artem Dovbyk. Moments later, Portu turned provider, setting up Miguel Guiterrez for Girona’s go-ahead goal with a deftly squared pass. Then, in a moment of brilliance, Portu unleashed a thunderous volley from the edge of the area to seal his side’s triumph.

The defeat saw Barcelona slip behind Girona in the standings, further solidifying Real Madrid’s title triumph with a commanding 13-point lead at the summit.
