INDIA: Matchday 8 of the LALIGA EA SPORTS season features a top-of-the-table clash between Girona FC and Real Madrid. The current league leaders, Los Blanquivermells, are set to host Carlo Ancelotti’s side in a game that promises to be one of the most exciting fixtures of the early stretch of the 2023/24 campaign.
Here are five reasons why you simply can’t miss this weekend’s duel between Girona FC and Los Blancos:
- Real Madrid’s bogey team: Girona FC has been a thorn in Real Madrid‘s side, with the Madrid-based side failing to win any of their last three games against them. In fact, Girona FC has won two of the last three duels between the two teams, including a huge 4-2 victory on home soil last April.
- A battle between prodigious Brazilian attackers: Some of the most talented Brazilian forwards in European football are expected to take to the pitch on Saturday. Savio Moreira de Oliveira, also known as Savinho, has taken the league by storm this season, scoring two goals and recording four assists in Girona FC’s first seven games. Aged 19, he is considered one of the league’s top dribblers along with his compatriot Vinicius, whom he will face this weekend.
- A Girona FC squad full of youth and talent: Girona FC boasts one of the youngest squads in the league with an average age of 26.3. Their boss, Michel, is currently the fifth-youngest coach in LALIGA EA SPORTS, making Los Blanquivermells one of the most exciting projects in the league.
- The need to build momentum ahead of ElClasico: Real Madrid is aware that they are heading into what is expected to be a demanding October due to the busy calendar, one which will culminate with ElClasico against FC Barcelona at the Estadio Olimpico in Montjuic on October 28th.
- An abundance of scoring sources: Girona FC has been hailed for the spectacle they have offered so far this season, going unbeaten in their first seven matches and winning all their three home duels in style. What makes their achievement even more impressive is that they don’t just count on one player to carry the team on his shoulders. In fact, as many as 11 different players have managed to get their names on the scoresheet at least once in Los Blanquivermells’ first seven games.
The Girona FC vs. Real Madrid fixture promises to be a thrilling encounter between two of the most entertaining teams in Spain. With the top spot in the league at stake, this is a game that you simply can’t afford to miss.
