For the first time since the end of his 13-month injury break, Austrian star David Alaba was in the starting lineup for Real Madrid. The goals in the 2-0 victory against Girona were scored by Croatian veteran Luka Modric with a magnificent long-range shot (41st minute) and Vinicius Junior (83rd minute). In the standings, Real caught up with leader Barcelona in points (54).

David Alaba in Action for Real Madrid Until the 73rd Minute

Defender Alaba was substituted in the 73rd minute and showed a solid comeback in the starting lineup. Since his return on January 19, the 32-year-old had several short appearances as a substitute before suffering an adductor injury at the beginning of February. For Real, it was the first full success in the league after three winless games (2 draws, 1 loss). In the battle for the Champions League spots, Athletic Bilbao celebrated a 7:1 home victory over LaLiga's bottom team Real Valladolid. The Basques are six points behind Barca and Real in fourth place. Atletico Madrid (53) is third.
