There's something wrong with Girona, they took five shots on goal in the whole match and only shot on target once, maybe this is an underestimation of the opponent, or Almeria decided to pull themselves together and try to do everything possible to stay in La Liga?
In the 80th minute, Garcia get a red card, and thus complicated the game for Girona, but Almeria did not take advantage of this either, the match ended 0:0. On the one hand, Girona received one point in this match, but on the other hand, they lost points in the match with an outsider and this is a very offensive loss of points, most likely Real will not forgive this.
This was a disappointing game for Girona because they expected to win and keep leading the La Liga table. This raw has allowed Real Madrid to top the Spanish league if they can win the game against Almeria. We saw a very weak attack from Girona while the underrated Almeria created some goal-scoring opportunities. I also appreciate the Almeria defence because of the ability to curtail Girona attackers. Coach Michel will be frustrated by this loss because it was generally perceived that Girona would have cheaply won the game against this bottom-placed team.
The game will take place in Riyadh and it seems to me that all games outside of Spain (except for the Champions League of course) have the atmosphere of friendly games, maybe for this reason the chances are close.
I wonder if Ronaldo will attend the game? As a former Real Madrid player and a very popular figure in Saudi Arabia, it will most likely be profitable for him in every sense to be there. And maybe he can talk to the players personally and convince them to move to him.
Like it or not Saudi Arabia is gradually becoming a football tourist centre. Most of the football bodies in Europe are finding the country very lucrative to host these important games. The country is spending money to sponsor these games and the European FA cannot resist the temptation of accepting these lucrative football deals. I know that most of the fans of these top clubs will be unhappy because many of them will not be able to afford the cost of going to Riyadh to watch these important games.
