"We have to maintain the unity we have, with the necessary self-criticism. We're eager to win away from home, something that has affected us a lot in this schedule. A season has different phases. There were times, especially at the beginning, when we were consistent."
"And lately, there have been phases... today, the second half was much better than the first. And we were able to come back. The team was eager to overcome the 1-0 deficit. But we lacked the finishing touch. We had three or four clear chances inside the box to score the second goal and win. But we have to maintain the high standards that come with playing for Real Madrid."
Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Girona, marking three consecutive LaLiga stalemates after prior draws with Rayo Vallecano and Elche. Girona took the lead through Azzedine Ounahi’s 45th-minute strike. Two Madrid goals were disallowed after VAR reviews—Mbappé for handball and Vinícius for offside—before Mbappé converted a penalty to level. The run represents Madrid’s first three-match league draw streak since December 2019. Madrid have won once in their last five matches across competitions. The team stressed maintaining unity, increasing away-game effectiveness, and improving finishing inside the box to regain momentum and standards.
