Girona’s Taty Castellanos became the first player to score four in a La Liga game against Real Madrid this century as they secured a stunning 4-2 win over Carlo Ancelotti’s side, whose faint title hopes were dealt another blow on Tuesday.
With seven games to play, second-placed Real Madrid are now 11 behind Barcelona, who will face 10th-placed Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday.
Girona stunned Real with their first goal 12 minutes into the match as an unmarked Castellanos headed in from close range following a cross from Miguel Gutiérrez.
Girona doubled their lead 12 minutes later when Castellanos latched on to a long ball, worked his way into the box and fired low beneath Real keeper Andriy Lunin.
