Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Girona 0-3 Atlético Madrid in the La Liga on Sunday, 21 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.
Atlético Madrid secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Girona in La Liga. The visitors took an early lead when Koke scored in the 13th minute, setting a dominant tone that built on their recent wins against Valencia and Real Oviedo. Girona, coming off a mixed run including a win at Real Sociedad but losses to Elche, struggled to respond as Conor Gallagher added a second in the 38th minute, assisted by Julián Alvarez, effectively putting the game out of reach before half-time.
In the second half, Girona made several substitutions to chase the game, but Atlético Madrid maintained control and sealed the win with Antoine Griezmann’s goal in the 90+2nd minute, assisted by Giacomo Raspadori. This result extends Atlético’s strong away form despite recent defeats to Athletic Club and Barcelona, while Girona’s defensive issues, evident in their draws with Real Madrid and Real Betis, left them exposed once more. Overall, the match highlighted Atlético’s clinical finishing against a Girona side that couldn’t convert their slight possession edge into meaningful chances.
The stats painted a picture of a closely contested game in terms of possession, with Girona edging it at 51% compared to Atlético Madrid’s 49%, yet the visitors made better use of their time on the ball through efficient counter-attacks. Girona recorded more successful dribbles at 47 against 36, suggesting they tried to break lines individually, but this didn’t translate into dominance, as Atlético claimed more corners with 4 to 3, indicating slightly better set-piece threats. Discipline leaned in Atlético’s favour with no yellow cards, while Girona picked up 2, and both sides used all 5 substitutions, including Girona bringing on players like Yáser Asprilla and Bryan Gil to inject energy, though Atlético’s changes, such as Conor Gallagher entering early, proved more impactful with one assist logged for the visitors.
Atlético Madrid struck first in the 13th minute when Koke found the net to give them an early advantage, shifting momentum firmly in their favour. The lead doubled in the 38th minute as Conor Gallagher scored, assisted by Julián Alvarez, following an early substitution where Conor Gallagher had replaced Nico González just 10 minutes prior. Girona responded with changes at half-time and beyond, including Yáser Asprilla coming on for Joel Roca at 46’, and later Bryan Gil replacing Arnau Martínez at 61’ after the latter’s yellow card at 57’, but these failed to spark a comeback.
The game was wrapped up in stoppage time with Antoine Griezmann’s 90+2nd-minute goal, assisted by Giacomo Raspadori, who had substituted for Alexander Sørloth at 83’. Atlético’s bench strength shone through with Thiago Almada replacing Julián Alvarez and Robin Le Normand coming on for Conor Gallagher at 77’, while Girona’s yellow card for Thomas Lemar at 84’, after he replaced Iván Martín at 71’, compounded their frustrations without altering the outcome.
Girona lined up in a 4-5-1 formation, focusing on midfield solidity to control the game, with players like Viktor Tsygankov and Iván Martín providing width before their substitutions for Jhon Solís and Thomas Lemar at 71’. Arnau Martínez and Alejandro Francés formed part of the defensive partnerships until they made way for Bryan Gil and Hugo Rincón at 61’, while Joel Roca’s early exit for Yáser Asprilla at 46’ aimed to add attacking flair.
Atlético Madrid deployed a 4-4-2 setup, emphasising balanced attacking partnerships, with Alexander Sørloth up front until Giacomo Raspadori replaced him at 83’, and Marcos Llorente contributing before Antoine Griezmann came on at 78’. Koke anchored the midfield effectively, scoring early, while Conor Gallagher’s introduction for Nico González at 28’ boosted their dynamism, and Julián Alvarez provided the assist before Thiago Almada and Robin Le Normand entered at 77’ to shore up the side.
Bwin’s Man of the Match was Koke, who stood out for Atlético Madrid with his goal in the 13th minute that set the tone for the victory. He contributed 1 key pass without creating big chances or assists, but his overall influence in midfield helped control the game’s rhythm. Starting the match, Koke’s performance underlined his importance in breaking down Girona’s resistance.
