Girona missed a chance to secure a win in La Liga after a goalless draw against Real Sociedad, leaving them trailing leaders Real Madrid. Barcelona won 3-1 against Alaves, moving up to third in the league. This win has come after coach Xavi announced his departure at the end of the season. Real Madrid can potentially move four points clear at the top if they win against city rivals Atletico Madrid. Girona's second place in the league is now in jeopardy, trailing only one point behind Real Madrid. The game was very difficult, and it's a good point according to Michel, coach of Girona. Real Sociedad's Mikel Oyarzabal had a goal ruled out for a clearer offside infringement. Michel was sent off for complaining on the touchline. Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski and Ilkay Gundogan scored goals in the 3-1 win against Alaves. Lamine Yamal, a 16-year-old, stood out as Barcelona's most creative and incisive attacking player.
