Initially, Girona was not an elite club that dared to challenge the big La Liga clubs, but we should appreciate its impressive performance this season. It is not easy to maintain good performance considering that Girona does not have the quality of players like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Equating the performance levels of Girona and Almeria just because they drew is not ethical because at least Girona did not lose in that match and what is certain is that Almeria is very satisfied because they managed to hold Girona to a draw in this match considering their performance is very different from Girona.
We'll see if Girona will experience a decline in the second half of this season because they have tried so far, but many don't believe Girona can win the La Liga title because this club is still new enough to challenge the big clubs, even so, at least they are being in the top 4 is not a bad thing considering that Girona was an ordinary club at first and next season Girona could get a ticket to play in the UEFA Champions League.
No one thought that Girona would be able to surprise this far, indeed if you look at the strength and quality of the Girona team, many people doubt that they will be able to win the La Liga title, but in my opinion it is not impossible.
As happened in the 2015/2016 Premier League season when Leicester City managed to win the Premier League.
The draw against Almeria was quite disappointing, but I saw that the performance of the Girona team was still quite good and this was proven in the next match against Rayo in the round of 16 of the Copa Del Rey. The GIrona team was able to perform again with its best performance.
So so far the Girona team is still quite solid, there are no signs that they have lost their balance.
It's true, the impressive record recorded by Girona this season has amazed us all, suffering only one defeat in La Liga to Madrid. Only four clubs have managed to hold Girona to a draw this season, namely Almeria, Betis, Bilbao and Real Sociedad. They succeeded in slaughtering the remaining 14 contestants mercilessly, including the two giants who had been dominating La Liga, Barcelona and Atletico. A performance that has taken them to the top of the standings, with 49 points in 20 matches, currently only Madrid has the opportunity to overtake the position because they still have one match postponed against Getafe.
Therefore, in the future, it is believed that Michel fleet will still be able to compete and put pressure on Madrid in the hunt for trophies, because Barcelona and ATM are experiencing a slight shock. I predict they will end the season by securing a ticket to the UCL. In terms of champions, I think Madrid still has the highest bargaining value at the moment, Girona will only be able to win the trophy if Los Blancos experiences a decline in performance, but with what Girona is currently fighting for, that is It's already quite entertaining in terms of competition. It is true that it is possible that Girona could follow in Leicester City footsteps in the EPL, but their opportunity to create a beautiful story is only possible when Madrid experiences inconsistency.
Girona next match is against Sevilla, a club that has the opposite fate of Girona. I mean Sevilla has now changed from a big club to a mediocre club, as if they never had a reputation in La Liga and the European League. Girona will certainly take advantage of Sevilla current setbacks and inconsistencies, to increase their number of points, thereby further strengthening their position in the standings. On paper, betting on Girona winning would be very safe, while Sevilla is getting worse and its position is increasingly threatened by the dgradation zone, it is difficult to imagine what the scenario is for Sevilla to escape this threat in the future.
