Lopez gets a booking, although fair to say Vinicius overreacts to the contact Eventually, Valverde wrestles into some space on the right hand side of the box and crosses to Vinicius, who slides into an empty net from just a yard out. The referee is told by VAR to have a look at it, and he's awarded a penalty.

Real Madrid vs Girona : Lineups and LIVE updates (Goal.com)

Real Madrid will aim to regain top spot in La Liga table when they host relegation-threatened Girona on Sunday afternoon fixture.

Real Madrid, like many clubs on the continent, have a busy fixture schedule pre-World Cup. The Catalan outfit played out a morale-boosting 1-1 draw against Osasuna last week, but are on a run of six games without a win (D2, L4), and are huge underdogs here. Los Merengues have been in a rich vein of form this season, and defeated Sevilla 3-1 last weekend to remain top of La Liga.

Follow all the action live from the Santiago Bernabéu as Los Blancos look to reinstate a gap at the top of LaLiga in Spain.

Have you ever been to the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid? Simple rule: don't blame it on the sunshine, don't blame it on the moonlight... Just the wrong side, but a warning to the hosts. The club also rewarded Éder Militão and Rodrygo Goes for their role in Los Blancos’ LaLiga and Champions League double by handing the Brazilians new deals at the beginning of July. He's totally biased in favour of the opposition, whether you're a Madrid or Girona fan. It's well defended and away, a foul being won from the high press. Then Kroos gets fed up of that and thwacks an ambitious effort goalwards, not causing too many problems for the Girona stopper. The home crowd are quick to make their feelings known. On the stretch he's unable to control it. All of this inside the Girona penalty area. Despite that, he and the masses sitting around him, scream for a foul. It was a game that had huge implications at either end of the LaLiga Santander table.

Real Madrid saw their lead at the top of La Liga shrink as a second-half penalty ...

Dropped into central midfield in the second half and was just as impressive. Should have scored the winner before he had to foul Gazzaniga. Another in second-half stoppage time saw him sent off and soured a textbook passing performance from the German. A penalty was awarded and Stuani gave his side the point they deserved by sending Courtois the wrong way. Made a joint-team high of three tackles before being subbed after the hour. Rodrygo took his shot first-time but saw it bounce back off the post.

"We couldn't get the win, but overall we're still at the top, any team would want to be where we are," Carvajal added. "We did enough to win, we had some chances. We waited for our chances and they came, you always have to suffer here [at the Bernabeu]." "I think this is a reward for all the effort we put in ... Girona, who are 16th in the standings, came away with a precious point as their players sank to the ground in relief. Marco [Asensio] says it hit his chest and then his hand, and in theory I think that after a rebound like that it isn't handball. "[The referee] thought it was a handball and a penalty, and that's all. I don't think it would be given in the Champions League. "There's nothing else to say, it was given. It's strange, sometimes it's handball, sometimes it isn't, you don't know. [Marco Asensio](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/195821/Marco-Asensio) handled the ball in the box and the referee awarded a penalty following a VAR check, with Stuani stepping up to the spot and sending [Thibaut Courtois](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/134283/Thibaut-Courtois) the wrong way to level the score.

Ancelotti on the disallowed goal: "It's true that when the goalkeeper touches the ball, if Rodrygo touches it then, it's a foul. The position of his left hand is strange, but he doesn't touch it with his left hand. They held their own against the Spanish and European champions and came away with a point. But that's exactly what Girona did, and they were rewarded with a valuable point in their bid to stay in LaLiga. Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti on the penalty call: "It isn't a penalty.

What surprises me is the penalty." "His left hand was in a strange position, and if he touched the ball with his hand there could be a doubt. "In theory, I think that after a rebound like that, it isn't handball. The second one is more debatable. [Asensio] didn't touch the ball with his hand. Lopez went to the monitor and watched the footage. Look, this is a red card. With just under 15 minutes left of the game Girona had a corner. It was swung in and Madrid eventually got it clear.
