 Real Madrid missed the chance to extend their lead at the top of La Liga as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Girona at the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday. The hosts took the lead twice through Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior, but Girona fought back with goals from Portu and Artem Dovbyk, who scored a dramatic equalizer in the 89th minute.

The result leaves Real Madrid two points ahead of Girona, who remain in second place and in contention for their first ever league title. The Catalans have been the surprise package of the season, losing only one game so far and matching Real Madrid's unbeaten record away from home.

The game started with a high tempo and intensity, as both teams looked to assert their dominance. Real Madrid had the first chance in the 10th minute, when Bellingham's shot from the edge of the box was tipped over by Paulo Gazzaniga. The English midfielder, who has been in sensational form this season, did not have to wait long to break the deadlock, as he headed in a cross from Ferland Mendy in the 16th minute.

Girona responded well to the setback and started to create some chances of their own. They were rewarded in the 28th minute, when Portu latched onto a through ball from Aleix Garcia and chipped it over Andriy Lunin, who was making his first start in place of the injured Thibaut Courtois. The goal was Portu's 10th of the season, making him Girona's second highest scorer behind Dovbyk.

The second half was even more exciting, as both teams pushed for the winner. Real Madrid regained the lead in the 58th minute, when Vinícius Júnior finished off a brilliant counter-attack involving Rodrygo and Bellingham. The Brazilian winger, who returned from injury for this game, celebrated his 13th goal of the campaign with his trademark dance.

However, Girona refused to give up and kept testing Real Madrid's makeshift defense, which featured Aurélien Tchouaméni as a center-back. The visitors had several chances to equalize, most notably when Dovbyk hit the post in the 75th minute. The Ukrainian striker, who is the joint-top scorer in La Liga with 15 goals, finally got his reward in the dying moments of the game, when he headed in a cross from Yan Couto to silence the Bernabéu crowd.

The final whistle sparked contrasting emotions on the pitch, as Girona celebrated a historic point while Real Madrid rued a missed opportunity. The title race is still wide open, with 15 games remaining for both teams. The next round of fixtures will see Real Madrid face Sevilla away, while Girona will host Real Sociedad.

Bayer Leverkusen stun Bayern Munich with 3-0 win to extend Bundesliga lead

Bayer Leverkusen delivered a stunning performance to beat Bayern Munich 3-0 at the BayArena on Saturday and move five points clear of the defending champions at the top of the Bundesliga table.

The hosts took the lead in the 18th minute when Josip Stanisic, on loan from Bayern, scored from close range after a cross from Robert Andrich. Bayern struggled to create any clear chances and were frustrated by Leverkusen's solid defence and energetic pressing.

The second half saw more of the same, as Leverkusen doubled their advantage in the 50th minute with a superb goal from Alejandro Grimaldo, who exchanged a one-two with Nathan Tella and fired past Manuel Neuer. Grimaldo almost scored again minutes later, but his curling free-kick hit the crossbar.

Bayern pushed forward in search of a lifeline, but Leverkusen were always dangerous on the counter-attack and sealed the victory in stoppage time when substitute Jeremie Frimpong ran onto a long ball and slotted into an empty net, with Neuer having gone up for a corner.

The result was a huge blow for Bayern, who suffered their first defeat under Thomas Tuchel and their first in the league since November. They also failed to register a single shot on target for the first time in eight years in the Bundesliga.

Leverkusen, meanwhile, celebrated their 13th win in 21 games and extended their unbeaten run to 15 matches in all competitions. They also became the first team to score three goals against Bayern in the league since Hoffenheim in September 2017.

Xabi Alonso, the Leverkusen coach, praised his team's performance and said they deserved the win. He also said he was happy to see Stanisic score against his parent club, but added that there was still a long way to go in the title race.

Tuchel, on the other hand, admitted that his team were outplayed and outclassed by Leverkusen and said they had to improve quickly. He also said he was not concerned by the gap at the top, but rather by the quality of their display.

The two teams will meet again in the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals on March 1, with Bayern hoping to avenge their defeat and keep their hopes of a domestic double alive. Leverkusen, however, will be confident of repeating their feat and reaching the last four of the cup.

Arsenal vs Liverpool match report

Liverpool suffered just their second loss in the league this season, with frustration boiling over as Ibrahima Konate was given a red card in the final minutes for a second booking after a foul on Kai Havertz.

Following Arsenal's victory, they moved up to second place with 49 points, just behind Liverpool's 51 points, both teams having played 23 games. Defending champions Manchester City, who have played 21 games, currently have 46 points and are set to play on Monday. Declan Rice of Arsenal expressed disappointment, stating, "It was a tough blow to concede so late after a strong first half, but we knew the second half was crucial for our season." He added, "We were at the top during Christmas, but then had some disappointing results. Now, it seems like we're back on track."

As has been the case in the last four Premier League matches between the two teams, Arsenal took an early lead. Liverpool appeared sluggish and Saka had already come close to scoring with a header from Martinelli's cross before Arsenal's smooth passing game left the visitors vulnerable. Martin Ødegaard's first-time pass found Havertz, whose shot lacked power but bounced off Alisson, allowing Saka to confidently put it in the net. Liverpool seemed disjointed and were fortunate to enter halftime on equal terms, thanks to a mistake by Arsenal. Under pressure from Luis Díaz, Arsenal's William Saliba attempted to guide the ball back to goalkeeper David Raya, but it ended up breaking away and Gabriel, who was retreating, inadvertently scored an own goal.

It was a disappointing end to a dominant first half for Arsenal, and they were shaky in the beginning of the second half as Liverpool had several chances, including a curling shot from Curtis Jones that narrowly missed the target. However, Klopp was dissatisfied with his team's performance and made a triple substitution just before the hour mark, bringing on Andy Robertson, Harvey Elliott, and Darwin Núñez. But any plan Klopp had was foiled by a miscommunication between two of his most reliable players. A simple clearance from Van Dijk turned into a disaster as he hesitated, Alisson panicked and missed the ball entirely, leaving Martinelli with an easy goal into an empty net. "It was a tough day," Van Dijk admitted. "I take full responsibility for the second goal, it was a major turning point. It's painful for me and the rest of the team." Trossard's goal sealed the deal for Arsenal, putting them back in the race and causing doubts at Anfield.
