No centre-backs, no problem. Join Matt Clark (@MattClark_08) and Ben Sully (@SullyBen) as they look back on a weekend where Real Madrid overcame a defensive injury crisis to smash Girona\u2019s dreams of achieving their fairytale ending.
Vin\xedcius J\xfanior and Jude Bellingham played starring roles in the demolition job, moving Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s side five points clear at the top. Elsewhere in Part One, we discuss another poor home result for Barcelona as they play out an entertaining 3-3 draw against relegation-threatened Granada. There was also disappointment for Atl\xe9tico Madrid, who lost out to a rejuvenated Sevilla side at the Ram\xf3n S\xe1nchez Pizju\xe1n.
Real Betis swept past struggling C\xe1diz to move into sixth place as goal-shy Real Sociedad dropped down to seventh with a home defeat to Osasuna. Meanwhile, Celta showed all their fighting qualities at the Coliseum to come back from two goals down, only for Getafe to land the killer blow late on. Matt and Ben also discuss all the other fixtures from the weekend, including another solid win for surprise European hopefuls Las Palmas.
