Real Madrid found themselves in a difficult position. Trailing Barcelona by seven points in La Liga and having just suffered a defeat against Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, they were eager to rebound on Friday against Girona. Despite dominating the match, the Madrid side lacked clinical finishing and were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw. This result may have effectively ended their league title aspirations and indicates a worrying trend just four days before their crucial away match at the Allianz Arena.
