Girona, Taty Castellanos make history vs. Real Madrid as Manchester City, Erling Haaland await in the Champions League

A City Group forward scores four goals against Real Madrid, tearing their defence to shreds on a humbling night for the European champions. But this isn't Erling Haaland in the Champions League semifinals. At least, not yet.

This is Valentin 'Taty' Castellanos, on loan at Girona from New York City FC, on what he called "a dream night," a historic 4-2 LaLiga win that set alarm bells ringing at Madrid, with their biggest games of the season just days away.

A league defeat didn't mean much to Madrid at this stage -- they kicked off at Girona's Montilivi stadium 11 points behind leaders Barcelona, who had all but secured the title by beating Atletico Madrid two days earlier -- but the manner of this loss was a shock to the system.
