Real Madrid thrashed title rivals Girona 4-0 in a match that could be key in the fight for La Liga. The 'Merengues', with the win, are now five points clear of the Catalan side.
Behind them are Barcelona, 11 points behind, awaiting their game against Granada, and Atletico, 13 points behind, although they also have their game against Sevilla to play. It was precisely the fans of one of those rivals, in particular, who were in the spotlight.
With the game settled and the three points in the bag, the Santiago Bernabeu fans dedicated a chant to the 'Cule' coach. "Xavi, stay!" the fans chanted.
Movistar cameras caught Jude Bellingham and Toni Kroos on the bench laughing, although only they know if the laughter had something to do with the message from the stands or something to do with the match.
