A bad day at the office Barca gift Girona second place and Madrid the title
Barcelona gifted Girona second place in the table and rivals Real Madrid the title with an error-strewn performance at Montilivi on Saturday.

Roberto was quick to apologize but it was a horrible moment and jars even more coming in a week where it?s been reported he?s about to sign a contract renewal.
Minutes later some more dismal defending saw Miguel Gutierrez make it 3-2, via a big deflection off Jules Kounde, before Portu wrapped it up late on.
