25 Shots, 2 Goals: Kylian Mbappe Hopes To Improve La Liga Record

Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe will hope to build on from his brace against Real Betis before the international break. Los Blancos travel to San Sebastian on Saturday to face Real Sociedad, having drawn two of their first four  matches, yet to fire on all cylinders. Hansi Flick's Barcelona face Girona on Sunday in a Catalan derby aiming to secure a fifth win from five La Liga matches at the start of the season. Last season the Catalan giants were upset twice by their upstart minnow neighbours, who thumped Xavi Hernandez's side 4-2 home and away in the top flight.

Girona, in their fourth ever season in La Liga, ultimately finished third, behind second-place Barca, but for much of the season the Blaugrana could only watch as the tiny club battled Real Madrid for top spot.

Although Girona's title bid eventually collapsed, their second triumph over Barca secured them Champions League football and delivered Madrid's record-extending 36th league crown.

A lot has changed since then, with Flick's arrival in place of Xavi seeming to revitalise Barcelona's squad.

Led by teenage star Lamine Yamal, new arrival Dani Olmo and veteran striker Robert Lewandowski they have won their opening four matches and are the only team in La Liga with a 100 percent record.

Girona, on the other hand, have lost star names including Artem Dovbyk and Savinho and coach Michel Sanchez is still fitting together his replacement puzzle pieces.

After a 3-0 thumping by Atletico, Girona responded with 4-0 and 2-0 wins over Osasuna and Sevilla respectively, indicating they are on the right track once more.

"It was a difficult market because we had an excellent season, we knew it could be a long window," said Girona sporting director Quique Carcel earlier
