With eight matches remaining and zero room for error, Real Madrid bring their sputtering form back home to face Girona in a Friday La Liga match.
Los Blancos have suffered two straight defeats coming into this match, including a 2-1 loss at Mallorca in their last league game which dropped them seven points back of leaders Barcelona, meaning there can be no more slips if they are to stay in contention for the league crown.
Following that late heartbreaker, Madrid then suffered another defeat midweek, this time at home against German giants Bayern Munich in the Champions League, falling 2-1 again as goalkeeper Andriy Lunin was peppered by the Bavarians.
Today they meet 12th-placed Girona who have won two of their last three league games, and are hoping to deliver the knockout blow to Madrid's domestic title chase.
The Sporting News is following the Real Madrid vs. Girona match live, providing score updates, commentary, and analysis.

Real Madrid vs. Girona live updates, highlights from La Liga match
Prematch: Real Madrid's season is on life support. They very likely need to win out over their last eight games to win the La Liga title, and they will head to Munich needing to win if they are to advance in the Champions League next week.
Kylian Mbappe may be scoring goals at will, but he might finish his second season at Real Madrid still without a single major trophy. The pressure is on Los Blancos to win and win now, or it all comes undone.
