Real Madrid will be aiming to return to winning ways in La Liga when they host Girona on Sunday afternoon.
Carlo Ancelotti's side booked their spot in the last-16 stage of the Champions League courtesy of a 3-1 victory over Manchester City in the second leg of their knockout round playoff on Wednesday night.
Real Madrid are also through to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, but they have picked up just one point from their last three league fixtures, which has seen them drop to second spot in the La Liga table behind Barcelona.
Los Blancos are level on points (51) and games (24) with Barcelona, though, in what is a fascinating title race.
Girona, meanwhile, have lost four of their last five league matches during a disappointing run, and they have dropped to 10th spot in the table.
Here, Sports Mole looks at the head-to-head record and past meetings between the two sides ahead of their contest at Bernabeu on Saturday afternoon.
Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 11
Real Madrid wins: 7
Draws: 1
Girona wins: 3
There have only ever been 11 meetings between these two sides, with nine of those coming in La Liga, while the pair also locked horns in the Copa del Rey back in 2019, and Real Madrid have won seven of their encounters, suffering three defeats in the process.
The first-ever clash between the pair came in October 2017, with Girona incredibly recording a 2-1 victory, but Real Madrid won the reverse match at Bernabeu 6-3.
Real Madrid then recorded a 4-1 win in their La Liga clash towards the start of the 2018-19 campaign, before beating the Catalan side twice in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, recording a 4-2 victory at home and 3-1 success away to secure a 7-3 aggregate win.
Girona's second win over Real Madrid was a famous one, recording a 2-1 victory at Bernabeu in February 2019, before the points were shared in a 1-1 draw in their next game in the Spanish capital in October 2022.
The Red and Whites beat Real Madrid 4-2 on home soil in the league during the 2022-23 campaign, but Los Blancos won 3-0 and 4-0 in their two La Liga fixtures in 2023-24, before posting a 3-0 success in their last meeting in December 2024.
Of the players still active at both clubs, Cristhian Stuani is the leading goalscorer in this particular fixture, having scored five times against Real Madrid during his time at Girona, while Karim Benzema also netted five times versus Girona during his time with Los Blancos.
