Real Madrid's winless streak extended to three games following a 1-1 draw with Girona on Friday. The team's performance has put them six points behind league leaders Barcelona.
Midfielder Federico Valverde scored for Madrid in the 51st minute, but Girona equalized through Thomas Lemar eleven minutes later. Head coach Alvaro Arbeloa expressed significant frustration with the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system after a late penalty appeal for Real Madrid was not reviewed.
Arbeloa emphasized that the league title race is far from over, stating his team will continue to fight. However, recent results, including a loss to Mallorca and a Champions League quarter-final first-leg defeat to Bayern Munich, have put Real Madrid under considerable pressure.
