Yes, it looks like Barcelona will have the potential to be firmly in second place in Laliga until the end of this season. and Atletico Madrid, recently their performance has not been stable, and neither has Girona. and Barcelona against Atletico Madrid with a score of 0-3 will certainly make Barcelona fans believe that Barcelona will be superior and be ranked runner-up. until the end of the season and on week to 30 we will see Barcelona against Las Palmas. I think Barcelona will easily be able to beat Las Palmas, but if Barcelona draws or loses it will certainly open up space for Girona so of course Xavi has to be alert even though his opponent at that time is Las Palmas.
Barcelona is currently in 2nd place, 2 points ahead of Girona. At least Barcelona will remain in their ranking after La Liga is rolled back, the teams they will be competing against are Las Palmas and Cadiz. After that, Barcelona will visit Real Madrid's home ground. If Xavi can maintain the consistency of his team's squad, Barcelona will certainly be firmly in its position in 2nd place. However, if I refer to some information, several Barcelona players are doubtful about appearing in the Las Palmas match. I can't conclude it with certainty, because I haven't gotten the validity information that is my reference.
As for Girona, the performance of Michel's team began to decline. they played inconsistently, even Artem Dovbyk couldn't score a goal in several of his matches with Girona. Well, Girona still have quite tough matches that they have to go through in the remainder of this competition. Girona will visit Atletico Madrid's home ground after playing against Betis. Apart from that, Girona has a match to host Barcelona. Well, if Girona is inconsistent and slips in at least 3 of the remaining 9 matches. This means that Bilbao and Atletico have the potential to overtake Girona's ranking, but with the condition that Atletico Madrid must win all their remaining matches, as does Bilbao. The point is, the race for the top four in La Liga is still quite exciting in terms of competition for Girona, Atletico and Bilbao.
Yes, there is a clear point gap between Girona and Barcelona right now after Barcelona's recent unbeaten streak. I am actually disappointed that Girona has given up so early. I know giving up is not the correct word to use because Football is such a tough game but I felt they kind of have given up. Their fighting mentality is not there anymore after their defeat against Real Madrid. I was saying that Girona vs Real Madrid would decide who will win the La Liga this season. But I didn't think that defeat would have stopped Girona from trying to get back. I am more disappointed now because they have fallen to the 3rd position under Barcelona right now.
But all credits to Barcelona for their special performance. If they had started a few matches ago, I would have said Barcelona still has a chance to win the league. But since the point gap is too much right now, I don’t think they stand a chance right now.
What I am more excited to see is the 4th position battle between Athletico Bilbao and Atlético Madrid. They have played the same number of matches and Bilbao currently is in the lead by 1 point. Bilbao has been performing really well recently and they have managed to surpass Atletico Madrid. But I think Atletico Madrid will come back and grab their 4th position by the end of the season.
