MADRID (Reuters) -Jude Bellingham's brace and goals from Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo earned Real Madrid an emphatic 4-0 win over LaLiga title challengers Girona on Saturday, extending the home side's lead at the top of the table to five points.

Girona, unbeaten in 15 league games since losing to Real in September, would have moved top of the standings with victory but stayed second behind Carlo Ancelotti's men.
