Girona actually don't need to win La Liga to have a beautiful season but they will try best to lift the trophy at the end. They know not many people have belief in them but they don't care about it and simply play their best football in rest of the season. La Liga surpassed 23 matches and there will be 15 matches left till the end so it's worth to try for Girona.

Opportunities like this season may not be available again next season. I think they have to work hard to keep getting 3 points in every match. So hoping to win Liga is absolutely in every player so they will work hard. They have to take advantage of rare moments, because I feel Girona is likely to be like Leicester United in EPL  who won and will fail to compete for the next season. There will probably be a lot of players leaving because of bigger salary offers. And maybe the club will let them go because they make a big profit.
Most likely that is the case, next season it is not certain that Girona will be able to compete at the top like this season, but their team's targets will certainly not be high and so far what they have done is quite extraordinary.

Now Girona is a team that does not have burdens and also has high targets so they can play freely without burdens which allows their performance to be maintained well, that is an advantage for teams that are not favorites and Girona is currently in the right place and path. right.
In fact, the one under pressure right now is the Real Madrid team because of course it would be very embarrassing if they lost to compete for the title with a small team like Girona.

Next week, Real Madrid's match against Girona is quite anticipated and this is a good opportunity for Girona to get points while making the team's mentality and confidence much higher.
Currently, Girona not only needs points, but the confidence and mentality to boost the quality of the team at crucial times, this is really needed by the Girona team.

Just being in the title race with real madrid is success for Girona, nobody believed they would be where they are right now, but now that they have worked hard to get themselves in this position, they have to try and win it, if they try and fail, it won't stop us from singing their praise. Girona's next game is so crucial, they come up against Real Madrid, they are two points behind madrid and if they win, they will go back to the top of the table and i really believe Girona can do it.
it seems as does two are taking over La Liga and Real Madrid will win that trophy, Girona did sure some commitment but it looks as if they are losing the fight or they have even lost the fight already. I already knew that there was no hope for real Madrid. and Real Madrid assuming that sit now will even make things hard for Girona because now Real Madrid already has 58 points leading Girona with two points. if it is Madrid that i know they will do anything possible just for them to maintain that position. Girona facing Real Madrid is going to be a challenging game and Madrid will put all its energy into it, I have a strong feeling that Real Madrid will win,  Madrid will not want to leave that position and that is why I see the winners already, this game won't end draw am sure of that.

Girona must work hard to record new history, rare opportunities like this must be utilized well in order to break the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona who always take turns winning the La Liga title race. So far, it has been very difficult for other teams to enter the race for the title. Girona, who is performing beyond expectations, needs to maintain their performance and must consider every match important to win.

Their next match will be against Real Madrid, of course it will not be easy for Girona to get points from Real Madrid, especially since in the first meeting they were humiliated in front of their supporters with a landslide score of 3-0. Girona must be able to turn things around if they want to return to the top of the standings, the two-point difference with Real Madrid must be used to surpass the points that Real Madrid has collected.

We passed that stage. Now Girona is in the race and there are a lot of believers.
You will see what happens if they beat Real Madrid. Perspectives would change after such a win. Smiley

It's been a long time since we saw Sevilla win and this time they were able to complete their first win in the last 5 matches against Vallecano away from home. The narrow 1-2 victory felt special because it required an additional 3 points to avoid the relegation zone and at the same time to survive in La Liga this season. Sevilla is said to be very bad and almost unable to ensure victory in the last few matches and hopes that this victory can be good capital for the next match.

The last time Sevilla won was against Granada and that was about a month ago. With this victory over Vallencano, Sevilla has collected 20 points and they are level with other teams such as Celta Vigo and Mallorca who also have the same points. Currently, Sevilla is not safe because the team below them only has a difference of 3 points and just one defeat can make them slump again.

It is true that next season it is not certain that Girona will have as good a chance as in the current season. But it is truly extraordinary to see Girona making such rapid progress in just two seasons after they were promoted back to Laliga. Last season, Girona was able to immediately climb to 10th place and this season they are directly competing for the title and yes, that is extraordinary. I even thought Girona was just lucky at first. But now they have proven that they are indeed strong this season. Even Barcelona and Atletico Madrid were unable to stop Girona this season. Only Real Madrid can beat Girona this season. But with a small difference in points. I also think that Girona should be able to make the most of this season's opportunities. Because next season, maybe Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will no longer allow other teams to compete with them at the top of the standings.

Maybe I never thought as long as you said that Girona couldn't experience something like this again next season, because we all don't know what will happen next and what Girona will be like in the future. Of course, they will continue to try hard to win the next match they face in order to maintain their position in the standings. In my opinion, Girona wants to make new history in La Liga this season, because I believe their performance and consistency in the matches they have played looks very good and is still the same as before. Next season, it all depends on how Girona management makes good use of its finances, so that it can retain players who are considered good for Girona.
Yes, you are right because predicting the future of  club seems impossible and cannot be predicted, while Girona just one of the surprising clubs after being promoted in LaLiga, the club looks very strong and usually will not be  able to repeat new history, but there are no guarantees whatsoever.
Girona management really wants the club to win title and become part of popular club, at least continue to gain experience being in top 3 in the points table to feel how to compete with big club and after several successful seasons to get top 3 ranking, I think the time has come for girona will win titles and compete other competitions.

It very difficult for mediocre club like Girona to maintain consistency and maybe this season looks impressive but after that  next season will experience drastic decline.

Madrid match against Girona will of course be a very decisive match for both teams and the results of this match could even change the direction of the La Liga standings later as @Cryptmuster said, and I think both teams will of course shift their focus in this match, if we can see that the difference in points between the two teams is very close and even Barcelona could still gain an advantage if Madrid loses in this match, but I think both teams will play safely and carefully in this match considering that both teams have the same good performance, perhaps in terms of Attacking, of course, Girona intensity will be a little more attacking to hunt for goals and Madrid will probably only rely on counter attacks to avoid conceding goals considering their current position in the standings, that's just my estimate and anything could happen in that match, I personally hope The game will be very tough and will even be characterized by lots of goals in this match aside from my predictions above.
Girona has opportunity with first standings position next week if can defeat Real Madrid, losses two points against Atletico Madrid make crucial position for Real Madrid because remaining two points from Girona. Both teams face each other next week and the winner will more confidence on the top position. Real Madrid on crucial position against Girona, few days later they have Champion League match against RB Leipzig on the first leg, due many players injury Carlo Ancelotti have make some rotation to make Madrid performance keep effective in La Liga and Champion League match.
Actually Girona and Real Madrid performance last week not really impressive yet, both teams failed to secure three points with Girona hold draw by Real Sociedad and Madrid get draw against Atletico.
The winning result match seems better for each other teams between Madrid or Girona because if both teams get drawl will make close points from Barcelona has eight points behind Real Madrid and six points from Girona.

A draw was very fair for both sides, Real Madrid and Atletico had done their best to win this match, but the equal strength of the two teams made the match end in a draw. Girona was very lucky with this result, Real Madrid's loss of two points made the point difference even closer. Real Madrid is still the leader of the standings with a two-point advantage over Girona, Real Madrid still has the opportunity to widen the gap with Girona when the two teams meet next week.
Madrid derbies are always fierce and Atletico were a little lucky in this match because they finally managed to score an equalizing goal in the last minute, yes, a draw was quite fair for both teams.
And in another match, Girona also got a draw so there was no change in the battle for the top of the standings between Real Madrid and Girona and indeed the second match this weekend will be the deciding factor, Real Madrid has a slight advantage because they will play at home but this is a match between two teams top of the La Liga standings, it will definitely be very fierce.
I agree that a draw in the Madrid Derby match will be a starting point for Madrid and Girona to pit themselves against each other. I consider it fate that Girona and Madrid have to share points  with their respective opponents so that when the two meet it becomes an important moment to show each other their best game. Ancelotti needs to be alert because the Girona they faced last time  will definitely be different today. it won't be easy to beat Girona if Madrid play like they did against Atletico Madrid because  their front line is not sharp enough. I hope this match doesn't end in disappointment  and somehow seeing Girona ambitions in La Liga seems like a serious threat.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid match was very competitive. Real Madrid were a strong team and in very good form. Also the match was Madrid's home match. However, the Atletico Madrid players played very well.

Atletico Madrid were very lucky. After 90 minutes they scored in the match. Real Madrid tried hard to win. But they failed to break the defense of Atletico Madrid. However, Madrid managed to retain the top spot in the table as Girona shared the points with Real Sociedad, now everyone is eagerly waiting for the Madrid vs Girona match. Girona's chances of taking the top spot in the table this season will continue to diminish if Girona fail to pick up points in this match.
It's really rare Real Madrid made a blunder during the injury times, we always know they're the ones who actually scoring a goal during the injury times. Atletico Madrid perform very well because the match happen in Real Madrid's home.

The upcoming match Real Madrid vs Girona, it seems to be an easy match for Real Madrid because Girona lost their three key players e.g. Yangel Herrera, Daley Blind and Artem Dovbyk.
I think the Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid match was quite fierce and I myself really enjoyed the match even though there was no rain of goals but it was quite interesting from the side of both teams which were quite strong, if there were no goals that were disallowed from Atletico Madrid, this match might have Atletico who had a 2-1 position over Real Madrid. Both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid here, have a lucky side to each other even though it ends with a draw.

Yes, it seems that Girona have lost control and their performance has dropped drastically, this is a disaster and their hopes could be destroyed if their main players do not return to the field, of course against Real Sociedad showed that they have decreased, and I also think if they meet Real Madrid without their main players, they will potentially lose.

I hope Girona can take points in the match against Real Madrid and they need to learn a lot to make it happen. Beating Real Madrid so far has not been an easy task for any team, but of course Real Madrid is not impossible to lose. If in the end Girona wins, then they will lead the standings by moving Real Madrid to second place.

For me, that is a scenario that will benefit Barcelona, ​​especially if Barcelona can consistently win matches. Currently Barcelona has a large points gap with Real Madrid, but if Real Madrid loses from Girona then the gap will only be 5 points. It's just a hope, but I'm not sure Girona can do it well.

The next game for Girona will be very difficult, it will be incredibly difficult to play against such Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu and I would like Girona to win, but I understand that they have almost no chance of doing so. This match will most likely be a turning point, Real will win and secure a 5 point advantage and thus make this difference comfortable for themselves, and perhaps for Girona in this case it will be more difficult to find motivation to continue fighting Real. By the way Baselona will have a chance to get closer to Girona on 3 points, it's very close...

The last time they saw each other, Madrid won it quite comfortably though[1]. Not sure how the tactics will change in the next match, but Girona definitely needs to improve their finishing so they don't waste chances. If they can be a bit more clinical, they should've won the match against Sociedad (IIRC) since they have many opportunities to score. On the other hand, the keeper is quite good so that's that[2]. I'm pretty sure they will rely on the counter just like when they won against Madrid last time, but it will be interesting if they can fight for possession too.

I'd like Girona to win this game... But Girona's away games are not stable, so I think it will be very difficult for them to win this game... Probably Real will not lose, but it will be difficult to win against Girona... I think that a good bet is that Real will not lose... It is possible that this game will be similar to the game against Atletico...

I saw it coming before now, based on the outcome of the recent Madrid derbies this season seeing real and Athletico winning one apiece, so this draw was quite expected as either Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid failed to snatch all 3points thereby allowing Girona to closing in on them by two points making the title race more fierce yet open for Girona. As it is right now Real still has the chance to extend their lead when they play against Girona in the Spanish laliga in deccider match for which side would either maintain or take the lead at the top of the table.

The upcoming match Real Madrid vs Girona, it seems to be an easy match for Real Madrid because Girona lost their three key players e.g. Yangel Herrera, Daley Blind and Artem Dovbyk.
Playing at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium will certainly mean that Madrid will not miss this opportunity, considering that Girona lost their important key player, of course this will allow Madrid to easily get the full three points, because in their previous meeting this season, Madrid easily won by three goals. without reply at home to Girona, it has shown that Madrid can easily beat Girona with complete players at that time, how they will play with incomplete players in their main squad.

But Madrid should not underestimate Girona's strength because they have been consistent since the start of the season in chasing the title this season too, they may have difficulty winning but they have the opportunity to make it difficult for Madrid to win in this meeting, because if Girona can manage to hold a draw of course Madrid Of course Girona still has the opportunity to catch up on the points difference with Madrid, but if Girona loses it will definitely be difficult for them to catch up on the points difference with Madrid. This meeting will determine who has a winning mentality and will fight for the title this season.

You are right. We have rarely seen a Real Madrid side concede a goal in injury time. Usually we see Madrid score in injury time and win the match. Real Madrid players could not dominate against Atletico Madrid in injury time.

Beating Girona will not be easy for Madrid. However, several key players from Girona's squad are out of the squad. Still, this team is very confident. And they are well aware that a defeat against Madrid will leave them with no chance of grabbing the top spot in the table. So Girona players will try their best to perform well in this match. They are very hardworking.
