Girona FC has played a crucial role in the La Liga standings this season, with matches at Montilivi triggering three changes at the top of the table.

The local team secured a historic 2-1 win against FC Barcelona on Monday, with goals from Lemar and Fran Beltrán. This result ended Hansi Flick's side's ten-week run at the top, allowing Real Madrid to reclaim first place by a two-point margin.
This season marks the first time Girona has managed to take points from a league leader at home in the top flight. Previously, they had also held Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw at Montilivi during the 14th round of the competition.
In other news, the Competition Committee has handed a one-match ban to Joel Roca. The sanction follows a heavy challenge on Lamine Yamal during the closing stages of the match against Barcelona.
