Real Madrid title hopes dented by Girona drawAFP, MADRIDReal Madrid on Friday dropped more points in the Spanish La Liga title race with a frustrating 1-1 draw at home against Girona. The draw against Girona brought Madrid within six points of La Liga leaders Barcelona, but the Catalans were to host local rivals RCD Espanyol last night when they could move nine ahead with a victory. Girona’s Vitor Reis vies for the ball against Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe during their La Liga match in Madrid on Friday. “Until we lose La Liga we’ll keep fighting for it... We have to fight until the last day,” he said. At the other end, Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga denied Mbappe and Valverde as Los Blancos began to knock on the door.
