Ancelotti’s stronghold, the Bernabéu

In the heart of Madrid stands the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, a symbol of footballing excellence. Under the stewardship of Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid has transformed their home ground into an impregnable fortress this season. With an impressive record of nine wins and two draws in La Liga, coupled with flawless victories in the Champions League, Ancelotti’s side has made the Bernabéu a daunting prospect for visiting teams.

Their next challenge comes in the form of Girona, the second-best away team in La Liga. Girona will undoubtedly be eager to test Real Madrid’s resolve and aim for a historic victory at the Bernabéu.

The last defeat Real Madrid suffered at home dates back to April 2023, against Villarreal under Quique Setien. Since then, they have displayed remarkable resilience, with only a handful of draws marring their flawless home record.

At the heart of their dominance lies their prolific attack. Real Madrid has scored an impressive 34 goals in 14 home games this season, averaging 2.43 goals per game. However, their defensive solidity has been equally crucial to their success, conceding just nine goals in those 14 games despite facing challenges such as injuries to key players like Courtois, Militao, and later Alaba.

As Girona prepares to face the challenge of the Bernabéu, Ancelotti’s men are poised to defend their fortress and extend their impressive home record. For Real Madrid fans, the Santiago Bernabéu represents more than just a stadium—it embodies pride, resilience, and determination. It is a fortress where legends are born and challengers are overcome.
