Mind blowing but they're having close to nine games in all of La Liga Competition to recover and find themselves into a stable position.
Girona also should know that the table has to do with consistency and discipline, they're dropping form and it has affected how they play, the mentality and also lead to reduction of them points.

Atletico Madrid would definitely bounce back up to a good place, I'm only worried because Atletico Bilbao are also buzzing, they seem serious and would work hard same way I've seen it.

I feel like Barcelona has finally secured them spot on top of the La Liga standing. After all of these bad performance, they're finally doing the right things to get back up.

Even though Atletico Madrid are currently in fifth place, I have no hesitation in saying that they will still finish in the top four at the end of the season. Indeed, currently Atlitco Madrid's performance in Laliga is not as good as in the UCL league, they even managed to get rid of last season's UCL league runner up, namely Inter Milan, and now in the top quarter they will face Dortmund, of course this is their main focus at the moment.

Their chances of getting into the top four are still very wide open because they currently have no more matches against teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona on the sidelines. They will even face Bilbao at home and this is one of their opportunities to overtake Bilboa in fourth place with a difference of only one point. So I believe Atletico Madrid will still fight in the league to stay in the top four, their current performance cannot be said to be bad after what has happened in the UCL league.

There were several reasons when I previously said that Girona would eventually be pushed back down by more popular clubs and the most reasonable reason was simply the experience of being in 1st position in the points table or being in the top 3.
Popular clubs have more experience than Girona, so when Barca experiences a bad season in the middle of the season but in the end can catch Girona's position or even Atletico Madrid or Bilbao could overtake Girona because popular clubs have many strategies to be able to achieve the best ranking to end this season.
Girona at the start of the season did seem consistent but it has been proven that Girona does not have a good strategy to maintain its position and is now losing consistency again after being very ambitious at the start of the season but not seeing how a popular club would threaten its position.
Currently, what Girona needs is experience, even if they can't get 1st place, but maintaining to get a CL ticket is probably a very valuable experience.

It was rumored that he would return to play after successfully going through a series of recovery after injury at the start of the season, but some time ago Courtois was reported to have suffered another injury during a training session which resulted in him having to undergo knee surgery again. Courtois suffered an ACL meniscus injury which required surgery again and it is reported that he has successfully survived the operation.

This is truly fatal for a main goalkeeper for a team as big as Real Madrid and he will certainly leave this season without ever playing for Real Madrid once. He needed another 2 months to recover from his injury after surgery and this was a very long time to pass. It's quite sad to hear this news and of course his recovery is something the medical team must pay full attention to. Luckily without Courtois, Real Madrid is having a very good season and Andrey Lunin as his replacement is doing his job very well. I'm curious whether Courtois will be able to return to his best performance after recovering or not.

Atletico Madrid's home loss to Barcelona has disappointed their supporters. Before the match started i can disagree with everyone who says that Atletico Madrid will lose to Barcelona. As Atletico Madrid was playing at home, and not all Barcelona players are fit enough to play in this match, I wasn't expecting that they would lose the match. However Barcelona easily won. The match even did not turn out as i expected. Griezmann, Depay, and Morata are all available, but they were unable to score any goal against Barcelona.


Since Real Madrid has made it hard for Girona to continue at the top of the league, it wasn't even proper for them to dropped back to third place. It would have been preferable if Girona had finished the season in second place. They needed to at least hold on their second position if winning the league gets more difficult, but they are unable to do so. Girona dropped points in important matches that they had to win in order to secure three points, the match against Mallorca and Getafe. In their last match against Getafe, Girona did not play as well as they had at the beginning of the season. Out of thirteen shots, it was only three that were on target without any goal. At the moment, Barcelona is two points ahead of them in second place.

As champions last season, Barcelona showed good achievements as this season approached the end and of course this gave Barcelona fans happiness because Barcelona could compete with Madrid.

Many people thought that the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona would be a fierce competition and they would score each other goals, but in reality Atletico Madrid couldn't score a goal and in the end the match ended in victory for Barcelona, ​​but if we look at the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the first meeting at that time, Barcelona also managed to win the match with a score of 1-0, but yes, at the end of this season, Barcelona's performance is getting better, but it's a shame that Barcelona's point difference with Real Madrid is very large and it seems that Barcelona's hope of becoming champions this season is difficult to achieve unless Madrid must be consistent they lose in the upcoming match so Barcelona has the potential to become champions again.

Barcelona is currently in 2nd place in the standings, of course that is a good thing and the runner up position is an achievement that we must appreciate. Xavi's troops will want to continue collecting points and we'll see whether Xavi's troops will continue to consistently win or not.

Girona's match against Getafe could be said to be less than satisfying. The reason is that in that match, Girona was only able to win the match with a score of 1:0. In fact, if you look at Girona in their best performance, perhaps in the match against Getafe it is likely that Girona players will be able to score at least 3 goals. However, at the end of this season, Girona experienced a decline in performance. I don't know what the cause is, but what is certain is that Girona certainly cannot continue to allow this. Because if left unchecked, it is very likely that Girona will be eliminated from the top 4 positions in the Saudi Arabian League (SPL).

Maybe if you look briefly at Girona's match against Getafe, as you said, Girona players still have a high level of egoism. Maybe because these players want to make their names bigger so that it will be easier if they want to move to another club. Because now will definitely be a golden opportunity for Girona players to show their skills. But unfortunately it can be said that this action is not the right action. In fact, this action will definitely tarnish his own name. But this is just my prejudice and I hope the Girona players remain united.

And for Girona's match against Real Betis, I can't comment much about this match. Because if I say Girona will win, in fact in the last match Girona was only able to draw against Real Betis. Then if I said Real Betis would win, I would also be a little doubtful. The reason is that currently Girona's ranking is higher than Real Betis. So in my opinion it is very likely that Girona's match against Real Betis will end in a draw again.

I agree with you on this because Atletico Madrid is far from winning the la Liga this season so since they are still present in the champions league, they want to see if they can utilize the opportunity and make a difference because in the past 10 years, they have reached the champions league finals twice and it was against Real Madrid, the first was in 2014, while the second was in 2016 respectively and they lost to Real Madrid in the both meetings. Atletico Madrid is a very active team when it comes to the Champions league.

Let's just pray that Girona doesn't continue to experience setbacks and lose important points because it wouldn't be funny if they were able to play well from the start of the season but towards the end they lost everything. At least if they can't win the title Girona should be able to be in the top four so that next season they can win getting a ticket to compete in the UCL is not a bad thing considering that Girona is a mediocre team and competes closely with top teams. ATM itself has also lost a lot of points, I'm not sure it can overtake Girona with that big of a point difference, basically both teams were equally inconsistent towards the end.

Girona is not as bad as everyone thinks and it has not been really easy for them. and there is still a little bit of time to decide whether they will drop out of the third position or not and for them to lose, topping the table, they will try there best to maintain that third position. With the number of points they have now, the space in numbers between them and the athletic club is about seven points, so this shows that they are still in control of that position. And the Girona game against Getafe was pure luck for Getafe because Girona was making attempts to score since they had 8 shots on target and it was all a dead end to score. and they were finding it difficult to equalize the one goal scored.  And if Girona should qualify for the Champions League next season, then they will try there best because I love clubs that are always willing to try there best. And that is exactly what Girona is trying to do. I still have that confidence that Girona won't fall out of any place because they have come a long way so why is that? Because now they will let there guard down.

Currently, Girona's performance not consistent well such as on the early season after 4 defeating from the last 6 matches and make their 2nd standings position dropping to 3rd place. Girona's current standings position for securing Champion League spot place not secure yet behind 7 points left from Atletico Madrid and many difficult matches left for Girona facing Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and next match against Real Betis. Its seems bad story for Girona if out from the top fourth position after success managing top position for several weeks and had inconsistency performance upcoming several matches left.
Girona must take points on crucial match exactly facing with Atletico Madrid has chance to get top fourth position standings, beside have to win all matches left but against with team want to fight for Champion League spot is very important for Girona securing to participants in Champion League next season.

Wait, Atletico definitely doesn't look bad, I see the reason for their inconsistent performance in La Liga is that they are completely focused on the Champions League, and they are playing in the quarter finals of the Champions League, so you can see, that this is a great achievement, and besides, I will say that they have a very good chance of beating Dortmund. And about the top 4, I’m sure that Simione remembers and understands the importance of this, and it’s not the end, they still have time and they are able to achieve this goal too.

Girona is leading Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club by points that, if Girona is serious with their remaining games, these two teams cannot surpass. Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club are currently fighting for fourth position, but I'm not sure that Atletico Madrid has the performance that will make them stay in fourth place. All in all, I don't think Girona will lose the match against Atletico Madrid. After witnessing that incredibly bad and disappointing performance Atletico Madrid showed against Barcelona, Atletico Madrid is a team that shouldn't be trusted with winning games.

Although it is extremely painful to stay at the top of the table and end up in third or fourth place at the end of the season, it will also be good if Girona plays well and qualifies for the Champions League next season. I didn't see Girona removed from the Champions League list for the upcoming season, and I'm expecting them to play in that league because it has been a long time since they perform in the Champions League.

I think it's not about Girona's bad luck, but the fact that teams have already adapted to their style of play. You correctly noted that Girona started the season perfectly, gaining points in every match and up to the defeat 0:4 from Real also everything was not bad, but then Girona players got tired, the bench apparently does not allow Girona to play the whole season in La liga at the same high level, and the other teams are no longer afraid to play with Girona and realized that they can also win.
Third place will certainly be a huge success for a team like Girona, but I'm afraid next year Girona will not repeat such success as it was this season, especially if Girona sell their best players or do not buy a couple of top players for next season.

Atlético Madrid is definitely a good team but for some reason they have been performing badly this season and they have been doing it regularly. Although they could not retain the number one and number two positions in the points table, they should have retained the number three position but they could not retain the number three position so far. Atlético Madrid have lost several points in the last few matches due to which they are regularly positioned from number 4 to number 5 in the points table. 

In order to retain the number 1 to 3 position, they must perform well and try to get full points in most of the upcoming matches. Atletico Madrid may fail to qualify for the Champions League if they do not get full points in the upcoming matches.

Girona's hard work has brought them to this point. Maybe there is a drop in their form recently as you also indicated. However I still don't think they won't end up being at a position below top four this season.

I think like this especially due to the bad results Atletico Madrid got in the league these days. Besides Girona still have an advantage of 6 points against Athletic Bilbao as well. Girona don't have any game to play against them now but there is a game against Atletico Madrid away in April. Getting a decent result here can secure top four for Girona at a big rate. The previous game between them was amazing and Girona won (4-3). Would you expect Girona to not lose again? 

This is all a matter of mentality and Girona doesn't have that, so what many people predict is true, that Girona will not be able to maintain their consistency in matches towards the end of the season because there will be a lot of pressure they face to be able to maintain their position or targets that are realistic for them to fulfill and This puts a burden on the Girona team so it will have a big impact on the team's performance.

For now, Girona will be very threatened to finish in the top 4, I think this is very unfortunate even though they are the only team that has put pressure on Real Madrid to compete for the title since the start of the season.

If we talk about eligibility, I think Girona is no more worthy than Atletico Madrid and Bilbao because the quality is the same, but Girona has had a good start since the start of the season.

Many people and fans hopes that won't happen soon. Girona is doing really well this season, which is rare for this club to participate in the title race like this time even though if girona will be losing its chance to get la liga trophy but it can at least get UCL spot which will be also giving the club additional in come . It would be so cool if they could do even better than last year and make it to UCL next season. It's boring to see the same clubs qualify for UCL every year, so it would be awesome for Girona to play against the top European teams and i hope this is gonna happen soon. Although they're not playing at their best at the performance, they'll get back on track soon. It would be great if Girona could perform consistently until the end of season. Many people were expecting them to qualify for UCL.

To make it to the UCL, Girona needs to step up their game and be more consistent until the last match and this is obligation for michel to make it happen soon. It would suck if they miss out on this opportunity. I really hope they can make it happen and fulfill our expectations. It's been so long since Girona participated in the UCL, so it would be amazing to see them play next season. This would also boost Michel's popularity as Girona's coach. He's super important to the club, and he's really hoping to see his team in the UCL

For Atletico Madrid, the small difference in points may be a difference that is not too difficult for them to catch, but if they continue to lose points, Atletico Madrid will further widen the points difference and give Bilbao an opportunity to occupy the top 4 positions. And Atletico Madrid still has to face tough obstacles in the remaining matches this season, they still have to face Villareal, Girona, Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad, which are not easy matches for Atletico Madrid to overcome because if they lose points when facing these clubs then Bilbao will have a chance gold in improving its consistency so it can be in the top 4.

In the midst of these obstacles, Atletico Madrid still has to face quite a tough match in the Champions League, overall both of them have almost equal performance in the domestic league but the game is only about choosing which one will win the match, according to my speculation Dortmund has a bigger chance Compared to Atletico Madrid in terms of strength but Atletico Madrid also cannot be underestimated because they managed to get rid of Inter Milan even though they went through the penalty route.

From the start, many predicted that Girona's consistency would be tested in the matches at the end of the season and this was proven by the successive failures that forced them to drop to third place. Now Girona's situation is also worrying, if they don't immediately improve their game then they will also be eliminated from the top four.

Girona's mission is still very tough and it could be said that they will lose a few more points because in the remaining matches this season they also have to face Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Of course, these two matches are very tough because both teams also need points. Barcelona's performance is getting better, besides that, Atletico Madrid will also try hard to finish in the top four at the end of the season. But I personally hope that Girona can maintain and continue to be in the top four until the end of the season, because Girona this season has made many surprises and their game is also impressive so they deserve to be in the UCL league next season.
