Now if they really want good results at the end of the season then there is no other way than to improve and maintain their performance so as not to always lose points.
Their momentum is always good in a match but it is quite unfortunate that such things cannot be maximized properly by Girona because seeing from what happened during their matches they actually always have a good performance but there are always gaps that they cannot eliminate which makes their performance or their scoring productivity become disrupted.
At the moment, their chances are still very strong but indeed such things must be accompanied by positive results in every match they do so that their position is not too disturbed.
Currently, they have to give up the top position and second place although in the end this is not too surprising but indeed when looking at their performance at the beginning of the season about how good they were then it would be a shame if this season they could not be in the top 4.

Girona's recent results just go ahead to prove how much big teams have to give to remain at the top from the beginning of the season till the end, sometimes while also competing in other competitions. It takes a lot to remain at the top.
I knew it was going to be a difficult job for Girona to maintain their form till the end of the season, that was why I wanted them to put more focus on the Copa del Rey. If they had focused on the Copa dey rey they might be where Mallorca is now; in the final.

Giron will mostly not drop lower than 4th position, but with their current form, they'll struggle in Europe. The only way to avoid that is if they can reinforce well in the next transfer window and add a lot of quality depth to their squad.
This is going to be difficult considering that the FIFA FFP rule and laLaiga restrictions will limit them a lot. They are on the right path though. Building a top team is something that takes time so they don't need to rush it.

It makes sense.
What's more, Girona also still has some quite tough matches ahead. Some of the opponents are quite strong and could be an obstacle for them, such as: Real Betis, Atletico Madrid, and also Barcelona. Maybe in the previous match, Girona could handle them well. But we don't know what the future holds. Girona really needs bigger and stronger efforts than before. Because after this, these three clubs will definitely fight even harder to achieve victory.

This will not be as easy as it used to be in the early days of those who were very successful with their abilities. Recently, Girona seems to have experienced a slight decline in performance. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the competitors are still strong enough to form and strengthen their teams. So, this will really be a challenge that is not easy for Girona. However, at least, to be honest, I would like to see Girona still enter the UCL qualifying zone because after all, we see their efforts so far this season.

For Atletico, they've been relentless all time in all the face offs they've had, especially in the La Liga race. Their boss has been very much tactical and impactful and yearly he's been able to place the team at the rightest position that they ought to be. They've got confidences to finish the season properly considering the tenacity of impact they carry as a team and their evidence of performances so far too. The Spanish club though this season have been battling due to the effectiveness of little Girona.

 Now they're faced with the battles of finishing the season with an European cup ticket. And yes the possibility of it's occurrence is at the peak. Even though The second half of the season just got messy for Atletico Madrid. Even after trying all they could to keep the game in their favor or end it with a share of points, the second placed Girona who was also the host had to net in a fourth goal. The game was a serious contest, both sides were reselient and all they wanted was a victory. Atletico Madrid came ahead recently to gain back enough confidence after their win against Real Madrid.

 This is seemingly all they need to push ahead in subsequent games. They still have a few weeks to go and there's kinda  little time to come up on the league table. They can actually be effective enough to ensure that they acquire the needed result, they have what it takes both managerial and player wise coupled with experiences. Their UCL goal is enough push to revive their confidence in the final league games of the season. There's still an opportunity to finish the league in the right position as they desire.

Girona's performance has indeed declined. it wasn't as consistent and strong as it was at the start of the season. This match was the fifth defeat in the 29 matches that have been played.
Even though the point difference between Bilbao and Atletico Madrid is quite large, if Girona continues to perform like that, they may be moved from the top 4 of the standings.
if they want to keep it, they have to work hard now. finishing in the top 4 will be history for them with a ticket to the European Champions League.

Girona would have to put more effort if they want to maintain their position. Six and seven points are not too big to lose. Losing two games and a few draws can wipe out the point difference. Girona shouldn't be proud of their performance yet until they secure a European league spot. I don't think Miguel Ángel Sánchez and his team will not be satisfied without a Champion league slot.

In Girona's last game against Gatefe they were not clinical. They had thirteen shots and only three was on target. I also observed that Girona strikers prefer to go for goal even when a simple pass to a teammate will give better chance of getting a goal. I think Michel should find solution to the bluntness of the attack. The club's game will be against the seventh-placed  Real Betis and it is a must-win for them to solidify their hold on the third position.

Of course this defeat was quite embarrassing because Atletico Madrid were playing at home but they were beaten with a score of 0-3 by Barcelona. Atletico Madrid recent performance is not very good at all because they have lost in a row in their last two matches. The defeat to Barcelona made Diego Simeone troops drop to 5th place and for barcelona they rose back to second place after successfully overtaking Girona.

So, for Atletico Madrid, they still have a chance to return to the top 4 because after losing to Barcelona, ​​Atletico madrid is 1 point behind Bilbao, which is in 4th place. Bilbao they will face Real madrid, which of course is a challenge for Bilbao to secure their ranking in the top 4. But I doubt that Bilbao can beat Real Madrid because so far Real Madrid has performed quite well in Laliga. Apart from that, Atletico Madrid can take advantage of the opportunity to return to 4th place if they are able to win in the next match.

In fact, seeing Girona currently comfortably ranked 3rd is indeed an extraordinary achievement for a team that was initially considered an ordinary team. Girona was able to surprise all clubs and make all eyes turn to the performance they have this season and it looks like they will finish it well. The difference in points with 4th place, namely Bilbao, is quite far away, namely 6 points. But yeah, that's not a difference that can be said to be quite safe. Because if Girona loses points in a row in just 3 matches, it will knock Girona out of the top 4. Because Bilbao and Atletico Madrid are waiting under Girona. Hopefully the defeat that Girona experienced yesterday against Getafe is not a bad sign for Girona. And actually, Real Betis' next match will also be a difficult match for Girona and it looks like Girona has to really focus and maintain their performance so they can recover. Because if Girona loses in a row then the squad's mentality could decline and it will only result in bad results at the end of the season.

Real Madrid doctors performed tests on Thibaut Courtois and diagnosed him with a rupture of the internal meniscus of the right knee. The injury occurred during today's training session, which he left while crying. The recovery without surgery could take at least 2 months and meanwhile, doctors are assessing if surgery is necessary. If yes, Courtois's season would be over and the recovery could take 8 months. A blow for Real Madrid and they might need to sign a temporary replacement this summer. Might sign Kepa or is it better to extend Lunin's contract?  

It seems that Girona has run out of energy. They begin to lose their strength to work hard. It seems that this can be used by Barcelona to shift Girona to No. 3. Barcelona only has a gap of 1 point at the moment. But Barcelona will play Atletico at the Civitas Metropolitano Stadium, Madrid's home of Atletico. It was very difficult because Atletico also wanted to immediately enter the UCL Zone to unseat Athletic club at number 4.

I predict that Girona will be able to stay in the top four of the standings and secure a ticket to appear in the Champions League next season. Girona will definitely try to get back on track, recreating consistency in the remaining matches ahead. Apart from that, Girona still has a safe point for now, its position is 6 points adrift Bilbao and 7 points on Atletico, if it still loses points in the next two matches then its position will be really threatened. It's true, Girona should be proud of their achievements this season, being able to compete in the top four of the standings and playing in European competition next season is a big success in the club history.

Meanwhile, Michel will definitely motivate his squad to show their best performance again, their struggle will be in vain if they are knocked out of the Champions League zone. In the remaining 9 matches, Girona will several tough matches that have the potential to lose points, Michel must immediately find a solution to his squad setbacks before it is too late. On the other hand, Girona also still has hopes of finishing in runnerup position and competing with Barcelona. The journey to create a turning point in performance will begin by hosting Real Betis next week.

Considering the situation we are at in this moment, we could say that it is not really about ATM being a bad team, but it is more about the fact that we are going to end up with something that will take a bit of a while, and not going to be all that easy. I can definitely assume that it is going to end up being a bit of a trouble, but we should consider this to be a bit better for them because they are really not going to be amazing at league and finish fourth and go to UCL anyway so there is nothing changing for them.

What we should look at is their Inter win, that means that we are seeing them at quarter finals and if they are lucky then maybe even semi finals, not sure if they can do that. This is where they are focusing right now.

It will takes a grace for Atletico Madrid to over take Bilbao without sweating and doing more work. Look at their features of April, it's a tight one for them because they are having next match against Villarreal and you and I can both agree that no way they are coming successfully with that team, and after that they are going to battle with Girona that is fighting to get to place where Real Madrid are staying, you can see that the more you look at Atletico, they don't look good to win matches.

Atletico were really good teams in the beginning of the season, they have won about 17 matches but having 8 loss is bad of them, they were maximizing winnings but couldn't minimize their losses, if it has been they loss 4 and draw that 8, they should be in better place than even Girona but it's what's it's. They better try and finish in top 4 otherwise they wouldn't be going to the Champions League next season and I don't think they have much to offer with Dortmund next month, dead on arrival match for Atletico.

I strongly believe that the Girona coach and his players have achieved their objective this season. The season is already a big success for them. A team like Girona main focus is to survive relegation and stay up in the top division. Qualifying for the Champions league is an added bonus for the team. Even if at the end of the season Girona qualify for the Europa league it's still a big season for them. But one thing I know that this season will do for Girona is to make them start to dream big and make them want to become more ambitious. They can start to have this believe that truly they can be among the elite teams in the league and challenge for trophies.

La Liga still has nine matches remaining, and this could change the teams who are in the top four standings of this competition until the end of this season. Atletico Madrid and Bilbao still have the opportunity to compete to finish in the top four until this season ends. so, if Michel doesn't want his team's squad ranking to decline again. He must return to bringing his squad to winning ways, because Girona is now in an unstable situation. apart from that, several Girona players are absent due to injury. Plus, Artem Dovbyk hasn't contributed much in Girona's last few matches, he has been less productive in creating goals for his squad.

However, on the other hand, Girona is 6 points ahead of Bilbo and 7 points ahead of Atletico Madrid. Most importantly, Michel must re-strengthen his team's squad to at least be undefeated in 8 of the remaining 9 matches. Thus, Girona gets a ticket to the Champions League competition. well, a task that cannot be taken lightly by the Girona coach at the end of the La Liga competition. because, each team will work hard and perform all out to get what their respective teams deserve. well, Girona still has a match that seems quite difficult for them, Michel's squad still has matches against Aletico and Barcelona. ideally, if his position does not want to be overtaken by the team below him. Girona must win crucial matches, or at least hold a draw. therefore we will also see if Girona is capable, interesting.

Girona's brilliant performance this season must of course be etched with an achievement. Girona made things difficult for the two elite La Liga teams, namely Real Madrid and Barcelona, and Girona was even able to occupy the top position several times. However, recently Girona's performance has begun to decline and they are in danger of dropping out of the top four. But Girona's hopes are high enough to continue to maintain their position, if they are able to seal the Champions League zone then that will be an extraordinary achievement. To be able to secure its current position, at least Girona must be able to beat Atletico Madrid next April to widen the points gap.

The opportunity to finish in the top four of the standings is still quite open for Atletico Madrid because currently they are only one point behind Atletic Club. There are still several matches left so Atletico Madrid can try to play more consistently so they can qualify for the Champions League next season. But Atletico Madrid must try to win the match against Villareal and they will face Girona which will make their chances of winning a little smaller.

The opportunity to shift Atletic Club's position when the two of them face each other at home to Atletico Madrid and this must be utilized as best as possible so that they can move to fourth place in the standings. The ups and downs in the performance of the team managed by Diego Simeone are always marked in the first few matches of the season, even though their strength is still good enough to compete with several other teams in La Liga. But their consistency is sometimes disrupted at the start of the season so the competition is much tougher because they miss out on wins to collect points.

Of course, Girona will find themselves focused on maintaining their position in the top four until the end of the season and that is what they will be trying to do now. I don't imagine them failing to maintain their position in the top four as long as other teams like Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao are inconsistent, but on the other hand Girona will likely have problems if Athletico Bilbao and Atletico Madrid perform well until the end of the season.

So far Girona is not in good form. They lost so many points and if this condition continues then Girona will be threatened by the other two teams. Bilbao and Atletico Madrid have a gap of 6 and 7 points with Girona, meaning that if these two teams consistently win matches and Girona loses 2 matches, then Girona will be out of the Champions League zone. It's just a fearful possibility, but Girona will try their best as always.

There is still hope for Athletico Madrid to finish in the top four of the La Liga table if they are consistent. Athletic Bilbao is leading Athletico Madrid by just one point in the La Liga table. Athletico Madrid just needs to win their matches in the league and hope for Athletic Bilbao to play a draw match for them to enter the fourth position in the La Liga table.

To be able to finish in the top 4 is of course still quite possible for Girona, now they are 7 points ahead of Atletico Madrid who are in 5th place and with 10 matches remaining Girona only needs to maintain the stability of their performance to be able to maintain their position.

And it is true that Girona's performance has declined slightly in the last few matches, this team seems to no longer have the direction they had at the start of the season and when a shock occurs in a squad that doesn't actually have the same quality as Girona it will be a little difficult to recover.
Now their motivation is only to finish in the top 4, I think that is very possible for Girona.
