Girona leveled Real and Barcelona… celebrate! Carlo Ancelotti’s team “surrendered” to the appetites of the impressive Castegianos who scored all four of the Catalans’ goals (4-2) and finally said goodbye to the league seven games before the end!
Impressive achievement by the Argentinian striker of Girona who became the first footballer to score a “frame” against the Madrilenians who are now -11 from Barcelona who are preparing… a championship fiesta!

In the competitive part, Castegianos shocked Real after just 12 minutes of the game with a terrific header making it 1-0. The Argentinian striker scored in the 24th minute, beating Lunin with an excellent finish for 2-0! Real showed signs of life in the 34th minute when, after Asensio’s assist, Vinicius reduced the score to 2-1, which was also the score of the first half, with a header.
In the replay, Castegianos needed less than a minute to reach a hat-trick as he beat Lunin for 3-1 with a perfect spot.
