La Liga: Girona Title Bid Further Dented In Athletic Bilbao Defeat
Girona's unlikely La Liga title bid suffered another dent in a 3-2 defeat by Athletic Bilbao on Monday, with Alex Berenguer striking twice for the Basque side. After leaders Real Madrid were held to a draw by Rayo Vallecano on Sunday, the Catalan minnows, second, hoped to cut the six-point gap but lost in a gripping clash at San Mames. Michel Sanchez's side are now only two points ahead of champions Barcelona and seven in front of fifth-place Athletic, chasing a top four spot.
