I think the match against Mallorca is part of La Liga. But I was wrong, it turned out to be the Copa del Rey Quarter final. So far Girona in La Liga still have the best record with one loss equal to Madrid. This condition seems different, against Celta Vigo Girona won again. They continue the trend to keep 3 points. Indeed Girona took the initiative to attack from the start and in the 20th minute they scored. Progressing in the 2nd half Girona piled up a lot of players behind. They made it difficult for Celta Vigo to score until the end.
As for Madrid, they still have one game less. They are still very likely to shift Girona. Perhaps Real Madrid's best chance is to beat Girona in February. In addition, Madrid must also always try to get 3 points in the remaining matches this season.

I don't know what happened with Barcelona's defensive play. In the previous season, the strong defense is what secured the Championship title for Barcelona. This season, Barcelona's defensive play is a joke. Getting 5 goals from Villareal is just too much. It's obvious that Barcelona needs a new coach, but I don't know about any good candidates being available right now. Klopp probably wouldn't want to join Barcelona in the summer. The new Barcelona coach must continue with the attacking style and philosophy of this club, so Jose Mourinho definitely doesn't fit in this category. Maybe Barcelona will enter a new era of mediocrity and weak results, in addition to the big debt and financial difficulties.
The situation currently facing Barcelona is truly difficult, apart from the financial problems they are still facing, new problems have also emerged which have made their game decline. Their defense is weak, while they have not made many moves in the transfer market. Now they will also part ways with Xavi, they have to worry about bringing in a new coach. Another problem is whether the new coach will bring fresh air to them? New coaches also need adaptation and full support from management to do their best. If they don't get that and experience what Xavi experienced while being a coach here it will also be difficult for them, and I'm not even sure the new coach they will appoint will be better than Xavi Hernandez. 
These particular players for Atletico Madrid did well to make sure they win the game by managing the game and also defending as they should have to enable them take all of the three points home.
Griezmann should have scored in the first half of the game but his efforts weren't enough to.give them that lead luckily, he was also the man to link up Lino for that goal after severally attempting to score, Lino finally did put the ball at the back of the net to give them the lead in the first half of the game. The position on the table is well earned and deserved they should have a game less to play to also secure that spot.
Memphis Depay did well at most that his header, he has been so silent for a while since he left Barcelona but good to see him finally scoring these goals.
Now it is not clear how the news about Xavi’s departure from the team will affect the results. It came as a shock to many players when Xavi announced his retirement after the defeat to Villarreal. Xavi met with the players to explain his decision, and the players asked him not to leave the team, and Sergi Roberto took the blame for the defeat.
I don’t know if this can somehow influence Xavi’s decision, and whether he can change his mind, probably for this to happen, Barcelona needs to start winning, there is still a lot of time until the end of the season.
Barcelona have been subtle in the very best ways because they don't joke with them legends when they are Inna tight corner and odd environment like this.
They can't boast of winning any more trophies this season, they only can hope they win game and qualify for the first four clubs in the Premier League Competition next season.
Xavi Hernandez won Barcelona the trophy last season you get me? So I see no Fvck reasons why he'll call my best midfied nothing and nobody.
Jurgen Klopp has no plans for a new a new club right now.
Xavi achieved many achievements when he was still with Barcelona and winning last season was also a very important achievement. However, you need to know that perhaps the owner of Barcelona does not see how important his achievements are but instead demands that Xavi must always be asked to provide The best at the current club often loses and problems often occur which also makes Xavi increasingly stressed and perhaps this is what makes Xavi unable to think clearly and has difficulty giving instructions to his players when playing on the field.They can't boast of winning any more trophies this season, they only can hope they win game and qualify for the first four clubs in the Premier League Competition next season.

I don't understand why people are saying that the coach of Barcelona, Xavi has done something literally incredible! ! Even though we know that the financial situation of Barcelona is not good at all, I think Xavi was given enough resources to work with.
If it was not Xavi, and some other coach actually wanted to bring in Robert Lewandowski for 50 million at that moment, do you guys actually think Barcelona authority would have agreed?
I really don't think so.
Even though Barcelona is trying to be cheap and maintain its financial situation, they have spent a lot of money through Xavi. I am not saying he did not do anything for Barcelona. But maybe it will not be a crime to actually ask for better.
Atlatico Madrid vs. Valencia:
At the start of the kick-off match, it was quite good, but soon Atlético Madrid showed up there Attacking strength and dominating the game with a lot of attempts at first, but can't get the net due to Velancia GK, but in 45+5 minutes, A. Griezmann crossed a beautiful ball in the opposite side, and Samuel Lino scored it. During the second half, Valencia showed a little bit of spark, but unfortunately they couldn't do the equalizer despite Atlético Madrid continuing to dominate the game, and in 57 minutes, N. Molina provided a beautiful assist to Memphis Depay, and he didn't make a mistake and put it straight into the Valencia net, taking the lead by two goals. Atlatico Madrid put the match in his hands until the 90th minute. At the end, the match is over 2-0, and Atlético Madrid have won it.
Moreover, with this match, Atlatico Madrid have secured 3 points and have taken 3rd place again in the league table.

Girona managed to win away to Celta Vigo and continue to lead the league.Obviously such a performance was not expected and they are in a neck and neck title race with Real Madrid.Even though Real Madrid have one game less, the fact that they are now leading even with a game in hand has certainly boosted their confidence. They have a good squad and with this squad they will be able to do well even in the champions league even if they don't become champions.Girona will fight until the last weeks with the hope of becoming champions and will try not to lose matches, but I don't think Real Madrid will give the championship.
After Madrid moved them from the top after securing a 2-1 win against Las Palmas, Victory became Girona main goal at Celta Vigo headquarters to reclaim first place. Girona mission faced fierce resistance from Rafael Benitez's team. Girona managed to win after Portu scored the only goal in this match, first position was reclaimed from Real Madrid after successfully ending the match with a score of 1-0.Celta Vigo who want to improve their ranking, continues to attack Girona defense, but their efforts are unable to break down Girona very strong defense. Girona needs to maintain this kind of fighting spirit to make it easier for them to win the title at the end of the season. Girona must always maintain the point difference with Real Madrid who continues to try to take first place from them.
Even though Girona was able to get to the first position of the table by winning the last match, I think they are not going to stay at the top. Because there are really very good chance Real Madrid is going to win their next match and reclaim the top spot. So at this moment, I feel like this is going to be a big competition between Real Madrid and Girona till the end of the season.
Actually I am not counting Barcelona in the competition for the La Liga title right now.
Girona was able to win against Celta Vigo. Even though Girona was able to keep a clean sheet, at times things looked very scary in this match.
In general, Xavi was able to bring Barcelona to a decent level and to some extent coped with the crisis that was before his arrival, but to bring Barcelona to a new level you need other money for transfers and now a new coach, since Xavi has not succeeded to the end.
In general it should be said that Xavi's contribution is more positive than negative, and in some ways he became a victim of the club's problems, its restructuring after Messi's departure. We can not say that the club's management completely ignored Xavi, because most of the transfers he approved and Lewandowski and Rafinha came at Xavi's request.
Let's see who Barcelona can sign instead of Xavi and what will happen with transfers in the summer, whether the new coach will be given money for new players.
Barcelona is now starting to look for a replacement for Xavi. Names such as Imanol Alguacil, Roberto De Zerbi and Jurgen Klopp are candidates to become Barcelona coaches. Especially for Jurgen Klopp, he has also officially resigned as Liverpool coach so Barcelona's opportunity to get him is wide open, especially as there is no need to doubt the quality of Jurgen Klopp's figure, he is one of the greatest coaches at the moment.
Girona and Real Madrid continue to move past each other at the top of the La Liga standings this season and the previous narrow win against Celta Vigo put Girona ahead again by 1 point. The match was very exciting and balanced, but Girona's needs began to break in the 20th minute after Portu scored a goal to give Girona the advantage in this away match. Both teams attacked each other and neither wanted to give in, but in the end this narrow lead lasted until the final minute.
In fact, Celta Vigo also put quite a lot of pressure on Girona and they recorded 10 goal attempts but they all failed. Girona has a slightly better record than Celta Vigo but cannot increase the goal difference more. Despite all that, Girona assured this victory and brought home 3 points from Celta Vigo. The competition in La Liga this season is completely limited to Girona and Real Madrid. If we look at Barcelona, which has a difference of around 10 points more than these two teams, then it is impossible for Barcelona to catch them both.

Yep. The pressure upon Girona was real from Celta Vigo but this team knows how to win by short scores and today they did exactly that. Now , would've be crazy to see Girona becoming champions and produce a big surprise ? Personally I would love to finally see someone besides Real , Atletico and Barcelona to win LaLiga just like Leicester did in Premier League a few years ago.
Coach Michel's name will also get bigger and I am sure that many big European clubs will want to bring him in as their new coach and I think that is a natural thing for a coach if in the future he has a good career to coach a big team. Currently, of course, coach Michel is only focused on Girona and bringing this team to win the La Liga title and it is true that this will be like Leicester in the EPL in the 2015/2016 season. Another thing that amazes me about Girona is that with an ordinary squad without a star, they have performed very consistently this season.

Atletico madrid was doing the right job by winning the game against valencia while girona was also getting the good result afte rit was beating celta vigo. The won by those clubs are helping girona to be at the top position of la liga this season. Real madrid has one match left for this and im sure madrid will able to perform better than before.
Madrid will not be facing a strong club and it will be easy to collecting three points from its opponents. Getafe shall be an easy club to be beaten by real madrid. Madrid is a way better compared to the getafe. Botting this match will give bad impact to the madrid.
Girona had been making so many shoots but none of these shoots were able helping the club to get more goals except portu's goal. Girona is always playing like shit and its attacking line seems so difficult to score a lot of goals. Im feeling the competition will always be like this till the end of season.
There will be no a club that will be dominating the competition. Im sure that if girona will able to perform even better at the end of season. Will girona take the trophy this season? maybe yes.

Yes, Atletico Madrid did their job well and now Atletico Madrid got the sweet fruit of their hard work against Valencia with a score of 2-0 which allowed Atletico Madrid to overtake the team coached by Xavi (Barcelona). Now Atletico Madrid is tasting the sweetness of victory against Valencia. Yes, so does Girona, now Girona is feeling happy because they are back at the top of the standings. Yes, but actually Girona must be wary of being ranked 1st because of course Real Madrid will not remain silent and let Girona be at the top of the standings because in Madrid's match against Getafe, Madrid will definitely try as hard as possible to win the match against Getafe because they want to shift Girona's position. at the top of the standings. but if, for example, Madrid loses to Getafe, Girona will definitely be happy because of course Girona's dream of becoming champions in Laliga is increasingly open.
Indeed, I noticed that Girona's game was really difficult to predict, sometimes it was very good, sometimes not so good, like the match against Almeria, many thought Girona would win, but in reality, Girona drew and couldn't score at all and I think that was an extraordinary surprise.
Yes, of course the one who has the potential to become Laliga champions is definitely Real Madrid or Girona and we will watch the match between these two teams who will lose first or draw.

Girona has been one team thst has really earned my respect this season in the la Liga so far, they git a whole good part of my attention in the league rhis season because I never for once expected such of them, the performance they have so far, ro the point they are even ready to go heads on with elite teams in the la Liga.
It's really a surprise that have worth the while, Girona will most definitely finish at the second position if they are unable to finish winning the trophy by the end of the season buy for Barcelona they will just have to struggle to finish top four even if it's at the fourth position because they are not only behind buy with poor performance and tej best they can do is to maintain a position at top four because they are most definitely not going to end the season at the top of the table.

Girona FC has a great coach and that is Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz For sure it is a long freaking name, so he calls himself Míchel for short, as for this team it is really comparable to the SV Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and a lot of fans doesn't expect a fast pace shift in the leader board will occur this fast, and It's indeed fascinating to witness Girona's remarkable performance in La Liga this season. Their unexpected rise and ability to challenge elite teams have certainly caught the attention of many football enthusiasts. The dedication and effort they've shown on the field deserve all the respect.
While predicting their final position can be tricky, considering the unpredictable nature of football, it's clear that Girona has become a formidable contender. As for Barcelona, the challenges they're facing this season might make securing a top-four finish a tough task. It'll be intriguing to see how the remainder of the season unfolds for both teams. Football always has a way of surprising us, and this season in La Liga is shaping up to be quite an exciting ride.
It is really fun to watch Atletico Madrid play so actively and offensively, and they do the attacking game well. Atletico Madrid could be the team that prefers to retreat from time to time. If today's match was last season, Atletico Madrid would have retreated after the first goal, but today they forced the second one, they did not stop and they got results.
They continued after the second goal and this year's Atletico Madrid is very good. They started the season badly, improved their game system and are now in third place in the league.
They continued after the second goal and this year's Atletico Madrid is very good. They started the season badly, improved their game system and are now in third place in the league.
I was also surprised by the improvement of Atlético de Madrid and surely Diego Simeone has worked hard to get this far in the league I really like their style just like what Girona FC did, and it's surely a joy to witness Atletico Madrid's dynamic and offensive style of play this season. The noticeable shift from a more defensive approach in the past to a proactive attacking game has been refreshing. It's a testament to their adaptability and the positive changes they've implemented.
The fact that Atletico Madrid didn't settle after the first goal and instead pushed for the second showcases their newfound determination and hunger for success. The team's resilience and ability to evolve throughout the season have clearly paid off, with their current position in third place highlighting their impressive turnaround. It's a testament to the team's character and the strategic improvements they've made. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the season unfolds for Atletico Madrid.
Girona managed to win away to Celta Vigo and continue to lead the league.Obviously such a performance was not expected and they are in a neck and neck title race with Real Madrid.Even though Real Madrid have one game less, the fact that they are now leading even with a game in hand has certainly boosted their confidence. They have a good squad and with this squad they will be able to do well even in the champions league even if they don't become champions.Girona will fight until the last weeks with the hope of becoming champions and will try not to lose matches, but I don't think Real Madrid will give the championship.
Girona is really serious and focused on challenging Real Madrid in this race we can see it when Girona misses other competitions such as the Copa del Rey, we still remember when Girona was defeated by Mallorca logically, it is impossible for Girona to be defeated by Mallorca but that is the fact that happened, so we consider that defeat to be part of Girona's plan to be more focused on the La Liga title. We know Real Madrid will not just give a title but on the other hand Girona will also do the same thing, and Girona still has an opportunity even though Real Madrid's chances are greater.

Girona must always maintain the point difference with Real Madrid who continues to try to take first place from them.
Girona seems to be following the strategy used by Ancelotti as Real Madrid coach when he gave up the Copa Del Rey competition, Girona will also not focus on that competition.
this opinion is based on what I have observed that Girona is really against Real Madrid and does not want Real Madrid to be the La Liga title holders this season and we can see that Girona current efforts to continue chasing Madrid points on the one hand are very ridiculous when Real Madrid avoids the Copa Del Rey, Girona also followed suit to defeat the competition and it is really interesting for me to see a small team trying to take on the big teams in La Liga.
when Barcelona no longer had the ability to compete in La Liga, Girona tried to replace Barcelona role trying to achieve success here but I don't want that to happen because it would be very funny if a small team could get rid of Barcelona and Real Madrid to win the title in La Liga while on paper, Girona is just a lucky team this season.
as a Real Madrid supporter I will pray that Girona will experience difficulties in the short term.
Girona have made quite the maximum effort this season and I am very impressed with what they have shown so far, they are really quite consistent despite their elimination in the Copa Del Rey but in the continuation of their La Liga matches it is clear that the Girona team is quite serious in challenging Real Madrid is in the title race this season.this opinion is based on what I have observed that Girona is really against Real Madrid and does not want Real Madrid to be the La Liga title holders this season and we can see that Girona current efforts to continue chasing Madrid points on the one hand are very ridiculous when Real Madrid avoids the Copa Del Rey, Girona also followed suit to defeat the competition and it is really interesting for me to see a small team trying to take on the big teams in La Liga.

I think Girona's chances of winning the title are getting bigger, firstly because they are quite consistent and on the other hand Real Madrid are also often not at their top performance, in the last 2 matches Real Madrid won with difficulty, I think their performance has dropped a little.
Regarding Barcelon, I think it's over, they won't be able to compete for the title this season, a quite logical target for them is to try to finish in the top 4 of the final standings.

Girona has continued to show the quality of their game from the start of the season until now very well. They can really maintain their consistency well. Even now we can all say that Girona is better than Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Beating Celta Vigo is no longer a surprise. Because we can already predict that Girona will win this match.We don't know whether Girona will ultimately be able to win the title or not. But everyone here definitely agrees that Girona will finally get UCL tickets at the end of the season. It's even hard to believe that Girona now has a big point difference with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Currently Girona has 55 points. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, who are ranked 3rd, have 44 points. Which means that currently Girona is 11 points ahead of the two. Only Real Madrid continues to compete with Girona this season. And maybe this will continue until the end of the season.

Celta Vigo can be said to be no different from the Sevilla team that Girona beat with a big score in the previous match, so when I saw that Girona was only able to score one goal it was quite surprising because I thought that they would have the opportunity to score more than two goals but it turned out not to be the case, but the win was still the win which has given them three points to remains temporarily leading the standings until Real Madrid plays one postponed match because my prediction will be very decisive, and when Real Madrid has taken over the standings with a difference of more than three points then Girona will be very difficult to be able to take over Real Madrid's position, even though the Girona team can be said to be still stable at the moment, Real Madrid with their experience will understand how to maintain the momentum they have to maintain their chances of becoming Laliga champions this season.

Girona has gotten for themselves that mark of respect as far as playing football is concerned and this season of La Liga. They are leading with one point ahead of Real Madrid and they have been consistent leading the league for a while now.
What I cannot wait for is the day that Real Madrid would play against Girona, which is going to happen on the 10th of February 2024. On that day, I know Real Madrid will try to do their best in terms of making sure that they win that match, but I'm also sure that Ancelotti cannot give you a guarantee win right now about whether he can score that match or not.
On the other hand, I'm also confident in Michel and I know Michel can do something to win that match on that very day. Well, let's see and watch the Champions of the La Liga league play together on that 10th.
Girona was very lucky because he was able to beat Celta who were the hosts in that match. Rafael Benitez used a 3-4-3 formation against Girona but the results were quite good because he was able to break through Girona's defense but unfortunately Celta's utilization of opportunities was still not optimal and it was a great shame ended in defeat for Celta.
Gone are those days when I think Girona was lucky to win each and every piece of match that they play. My thoughts then were more of, how comes Girona is at the top of the league. When there are more big clubs that are stronger and they are referred to as star clubs in the league of which Girona is not among.
But right now there's nothing like luck again as far as Girona winning Celta is concerned. And I will give you a detailed understanding of why I would say so.
Girona got 15 shots to 10 shots of Celta in the match. Girona also had more shots on target than Celta did. Girona also got more possession than Celta did. Girona had 567 passes whereas Celta got only 367 passes. In the accuracy of the passes, Girona got 84% whereas Celta got 76%. Girona also got more corners than Celta did. Girona had less fouls than Celta did. So, even if Celta was the host of the game, Girona has continued to show that power and boldness to win their matches.
Quote
Yes, Barcelona now has to go down in ranking because Atletico Madrid won against Valencia with a score of 2-0. Yes, the presence of Depay will certainly make Atletico Madrid more enthusiastic and hopefully Depay will continue to produce his best performance and hopefully he won't get injured again.
With Atletico Madrids goal yesterday, they were able to move a step ahead of Barcelona on the table standing right now. The problem is Barcelona is not really promising this time around and the issue lies on the management of the team.
Though, I am a lover of Xavi as Barcelona coach, I must also say that Xavi has not really performed as much as he should as a manager of a top club like Barcelona. This is not because he is not willing to do anything about that, but it is quite obvious that he doesn't have the capacity to manage the players that are available to him which is causing him this low performance and inconsistent performance in this season.
