Girona, runner-up to Real Madrid in La Liga, conceded a third defeat in four matches in Mallorca (1-0), missing the opportunity to make up part of its gap on the Madrid leader, clinging to Valencia on Saturday (2- 2).
The Catalans (2nd, 59 points) see their title hopes disappear a little further after this new poor performance which places them seven lengths behind Real, and are now under threat from their neighbor FC Barcelona.
