Girona ends Real Madrid's 13 away wins

Girona's 2-1 victory over Real Madrid will have raised a big cheer elsewhere in Catalunya on Sunday, as the Liga new boys broke a drought which had lasted over a decade and ended the visitors' incredible away run in the process.

Sunday's upset was the first time a Catalan side other than Barca had beaten Madrid in La Liga for more than 10 years, with Espanyol having been the last team to get the better of them way back in October 2007.

Goals from Albert Riera and Raul Tamudo sealed a 2-1 victory in Montjuic, with Sergio Ramos, the only survivor from that Madrid team still active at the club, netting from a late Guti corner.

The Espanyol coach that day? None other than Ernesto Valverde, who is now in charge at Camp Nou.

And to make matters worse for Madrid, their record-breaking away run in Spain's top flight was finally brought to and end.

Before the game at Estadi Montilivi, Zidane's side had won their last 13 away matches in a row in La Liga - a record unmatched by any other side in the competition's history.
