Real Madrid managed to score only three goals despite attacking the team. Arandina team is not that strong, Real Madrid team is very strong. If I compare between the two teams Arandina had 22% ball control during the game, and Real Madrid had 78% and more if I compare. Then Real Madrid is better in attack, Arandina had 2 shots on goal post, and Real Madrid had 15 shots on goal post. I can see so many differences between these two teams, but if I consider this aspect, then Real Madrid is definitely stronger. The first half was very competitive but the ball was completely in favor of Real Madrid.
But Girona gave an important chance away to build a gap between them and Real Madrid and I think the loss against Real Madrid would have been key to that. But now they have to deal with the situation that Real Madrid wins the games even with low margins, but they win the games and collect the three points all the time. All that Girona can do is win their games and wait for mistakes. But too bad they lost their first game against Real Madrid at home because I am not very optimistic about the game in Santiago Bernabeu.
What happens if Girona widens the gap? Even their own managers don't believe that they will become champions. He made a statement just today: we cannot compete with Real Madrid, our goal is to participate in European cups. With such a vision, don't expect them to become champions.
For now, Real Madrid is the strongest candidate, but Barcelona will recover, and Atletico Madrid will be in the race again if they catch up a winning streak. If Real Madrid stumbles in a few matches, it will whet the appetite of other teams.
The Girona and Madrid match is of course still very far away, but of course this match is eagerly awaited, because through this match we will be able to speculate and see who deserves to be champion this season. It's certain that Girona wants Madrid to lose because Girona definitely wants to shift Madrid's position. Yes, at the Montilivi Stadium, as the host, Girona really had to bear the shame of being defeated by Madrid with a score of 0-3, but I am sure that in the next match Girona will play against Madrid, Girona will definitely not want to repeat their defeat and I am sure that Girona will definitely be able to win against Madrid. at the Santiago Bernabeu. I think Madrid's match against Girona will definitely be exciting and much awaited.
Madrid is indeed a tough opponent for Girona, but of course Girona's hopes of becoming champions are still there and I'm sure Girona will fight their best to become champions this season.
Of course Madrid will be the strongest candidate to become champions this season, but sometimes match results always have surprises and are very difficult to predict. If, for example, Madrid loses in the next match, it will definitely make the other teams excited and want to move up the rankings, but I see that Madrid's points are of course still safe. But Madrid must be able to maintain its performance because if they can't maintain their performance, of course Girona and other teams will be a big threat to Madrid.
I thought Girona wouldn't be able to maintain their title challenge until the end of the season. However their performance is still very solid which makes me think about whether they will prove me wrong about this. For example their effort against Atletico Madrid was just marvelous. 
They never gave up in the whole game and put a great ending to the game by a lovely winning goal.
They just might not be able to beat Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu or not even get one point. Because much before Girona lost to them home by 3-0. I feel like Real Madrid would beat them once again. However the remaining games can still make this title competition very interesting.
From the few matches records, the club seems to be alot on form in this season and they are not ready to let go of any chances to maintain the current position and status on the table for this season, many of times fans have been panicking for Girona since their previous formation was nothing to rely upon, but they have kept surprising everybody and till this very point, the club have been able to stay at a good position.

Even much more in a better position than expected and any have looked out to see when the club will lose that position for a possibly worse state, but it seems Girona is not ready to let that happen and they are fighting by all means to keep securing their position all through time.
I think this game against Atletico Madrid again one them a bunch of new fans in La Liga as this is what the fans want to see. The small club fights against the big clubs and is able to compete until the very last minute of the game. Endings like the one against Atletico with that last minute goal (more or less last minute) are drawing attention from so many people and everyone starts liking them. But there is still a long way to go before they can celebrate anything.

Barcelona isn't in their best form this season. Lewandowski is no longer a sharp striker after he got injured. Some main players of Barcelona are also injured for a long time. These problems make Barcelona to play weakaer than previous season. Since the early season, Barcelona played underperformance, but they can play better toward the middle of the season. So, it is actually not surprising if Barcelona played unexpectedly although they played against small teams.
We all know that Barcelona is in player crisis because there are several ongoing injury problems, this is bad condition for Barcelona because they still have to use their best performance to be able to face the last 16 of the UCL.For La Liga, Barcelona also experienced setback and now they are in 3rd place with 41 points, this is 7 point difference from Real Madrid and also Girona.
Yes. And the most surprising thing is Girona that is joining for the race of the title. It is crazy that a small team like Girona can be in the top of La Liga standings.
even though it looks crazy, believe me, La Liga is very interesting, it's not boring to watch because this season has a new history if there are small teams that surprisingly compete with top teams and I'm sure you will know why this small team can achieve surprising achievements like today.

I think the same as you to be honest, Girona are good indeed but I don't think it is enough to put them ahead till the end of the season. Girona have beaten Barcelona and Atletico Madrid so they definitely have good skills but these are not. They have the combination of young and good players in the team which is working very well for them. But I think the match that will decide the fate of La Liga is the match between them in February. Whoever wins this match will get the hold of the League. If this ends in a draw then I think Real Madrid will still win the league, to be honest.
Honestly, I thought the same before as you. however, so far, Girona has remained consistent in match after match. the only defeat they experienced when they hosted Real Madrid, could have been if Girona was not too confident at that time. however, after losing at home to Madrid, Girona returned to the real track by progressing with a positive trend. previously, Girona was able to overthrow Barcelona at Camp Nou. then, Girona also beat Atletico Madrid. so, there are only two teams left for Girona to beat so far in their 19 matches. in a few weeks after the competition resumes, Girona will face Real Sociedad. in the first meeting, the match between these two teams ended in a draw, in the second meeting Girona played as the home team. the moment they play at home, they won't waste it in overthrowing Real Sociedad. after that, Girona's tough challenge will be visiting Real Madrid's headquarters at Santiago Bernabeu.
This match could be a benchmark again for Girona, but it is not a matter of player depth between the two teams which actually has a gap. however, it prioritizes the consistency of Girona's performance itself. and one of Girona's advantages, Michel's squad does not have a busy schedule. at the same time, Girona players are quite productive in scoring goals. therefore, Real Madrid cannot underestimate Michel's squad. because they have learned a lot after overthrowing Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. in essence, with Girona's current development. they have a chance to continue competing at the top of the La Liga standings. if Madrid does not want its position to be disturbed by Girona, in the match between these two teams, Carlo Ancelotti's squad must prove again to Girona for the second time that Madrid is above Girona. well, to find out more for sure. let's just follow every development. in particular, ahead of this match, either Madrid or Girona will play the other teams first. well, it would be better if we just enjoy it, because moments of competition like this are very rare.
But Girona gave an important chance away to build a gap between them and Real Madrid and I think the loss against Real Madrid would have been key to that. But now they have to deal with the situation that Real Madrid wins the games even with low margins, but they win the games and collect the three points all the time. All that Girona can do is win their games and wait for mistakes. But too bad they lost their first game against Real Madrid at home because I am not very optimistic about the game in Santiago Bernabeu.
In my opinion, Girona really maintains their hopes of winning the title this season because in the last 4 matches they had strong opponents where Girona faced Barcelona, Betis and Atletico madrid, but in all these matches Girona was able to come out as winners. And of course they succeeded passed a quite crucial stage for them.Well, it is true that Girona suffered one defeat, of course from Real madrid and these two teams will meet again in February and if Girona fails again then Real madrid will be able to widen the gap in points with Girona.
Girona is the surprise team this season where they were able to maintain their best form until the 19th Laliga match this season. Thus, Michel performance was quite successful in building a squad from ordinary players by competing with big teams such as Real madrid, Barcelona and also Atletico madrid. Even though they failed to become champions this season, everyone will praise their performance this season.
By the way, I got the impression that everyone forgot about Lewandowski - they used to criticize him, now they simply ignore him. He only has 8 goals scored, which is terrible for a striker of his caliber. I don’t even know whether Barcelona will have time to sell him to Saudi Arabia in the summer, whether the sheikhs will be interested in him.
Currently, Lewandowski's performance is at a slightly worrying point because of the decline in performance that occurred.The comparison is very pronounced when talking about this season and the previous season because of several factors such as when last season he was always spoiled because of several players who opened up space and in very good situations but this season he didn't really get that. In addition, injury problems seem to haunt Lewa in this case because after the injury suffered at the beginning of the season indirectly made his performance decline and without the good space-opening control that Pedri or Gavi always do, the situation is even worse for Lewandowski now.
Xavi should provide other options at this point because forcing Lewandowski now with these conditions will make it even more difficult for Barcelona actually and the scheme that is carried out even if the possession is good but when there are no opportunities that can be converted into goals then this is still very difficult for Barcelona to get out of the zone at this time.
Xavi should assess the team dynamics and consider adjustments to maximize goal-scoring opportunities. Xavi could tweak the team's tactical approach to create more goal-scoring opportunities. This might involve changes in formations, positioning of players, or even introducing new patterns of play to unlock defenses. Giving opportunities to other forwards or attacking midfielders might provide fresh impetus and creativity in the final third. Focusing on enhancing the skills and performances of other key players can alleviate the pressure on Lewandowski.

When Girona faced Atletico Madrid, everyone believed that Girona would lose that day, but the reality was different. Girona performed brilliantly and managed to win 4-3, it was really dramatic.
The match between Girona vs Madrid will still take place much later, around February 11, so there is still a big opportunity for Girona to develop a good strategy because even a draw will be very profitable for Girona. I'm sure Girona management is currently in a tense phase, everyone doesn't think they will be able to compete closely with Madrid to be at the top of the LaLiga standings.
Meanwhile, Barcelona, it seems, will have difficulty chasing Girona and Madrid, Barcelona has been wrong from the start, they have lost twice.
Not everybody saw the game ending that way, I'm a strong supporter of Girona this session but no against Real Madrid. Against Barcelona they showed class and made sure that they took three points back home. Judging from how they have played the last two clubs above ten position, I was suspecting a point to be shared between them.
That game still far, let's see them face these clubs in January before we start shifting focus on the games to be played February. If it's February, them the Champions League would come into mindset and consideration before using a full squad against Girona.

Girona is still the best in the LA Liga thus far with their level of control, confidence and coordination. At this point, I must give all hails to their ever-present and forward manager Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz. And all the players who have remained very active and steadfast to the effort of taking Girona to the top of the LA Liga titles. The commitment have been a vehemently interesting one.
They are a combination of experienced young and old players. Many old players from big clubs are thrown away. Munoz made a great combination and succeeded in generating fighting spirit. Girona players don't have many star players, but the mentality of fighting, fighting, coordination between players is really good. I don't believe they are champions yet, but right now they have a big chance.@iBaba I would argue about this because Real Madrid still are the best in every aspect of the game because of their experienced players and the youngsters. But I must give it to Girona because of the fight that they are giving and keeping up with Real Madrid. Girona indeed got the fighting mentality but I don't think it will be enough for them to get the title putting Real Madrid behind. Sure they got the skills as well, but those won’t be enough.
No disrespect for the big teams like Real Madrid because they have got the better players, they have more number of young stars, they have a more experienced coach and players infact they have a better team and can't be compared to the Girona team regardless of the good performance of Girona this season butci think the entire team of Girona including them coach deserves to be respected because they havecreally done well for themselves so far this season even as they key fighting to get better because anything can happen and you never can tell if they will end up winning the La Liga this season because they have got what it takes .
Yes I think the performance of Girona so far this season can get them a trophy because from all indication Real Madrid is the only team thdt is ahead of them in the league with goal difference who knows if Madrid will focus more on winning the UCL while Girona will take the advantage to top the league in LaLiga I believe they may end up getting a trophy this season.

Girona players don't have many star players, but the mentality of fighting, fighting, coordination between players is really good. I don't believe they are champions yet, but right now they have a big chance.But unfortunately, because Girona is currently part of the City Football Group and based on the rules and rumors circulating, if Girona manages to finish in the top four then it is possible that Manchester City and Girona will not be allowed to play in the Champions League next season . But ya, I also don't know for sure how this problem will proceed, but if it is true, then it will certainly be a very unfortunate result for Girona, who have succeeded in being in the top four and are strong contenders in the race for the La Liga title this season with Real Madrid.
Because after all, I will remain confident that Girona will remain strong in the top four until the end of this season. Because ya, considering that at least Barcelona and Atletico are also experiencing trends that are not entirely good this season. Therefore, Girona will be able to maintain its position in the top four, of course it will also be a threat to Real Madrid this season in the race for the title.
Manchester City as we all know is one club that's always gonna finish in the top four of the English Premier League table and that makes it almost impossible to see Girona play in the UCL next season

There are four teams in the Lalliga this season that are in a very active competition with each other,those teams have gotten a pattern of play which makes it easier for them to win other smaller teams when they meet them,but they only struggle with each other when they go head to head,and the team that is much stronger will eventually win.Madrid,Girona, Barcelona and Athletico have been the four best teams in the Lalliga,and they are the teams that will qualify for the top four and the Champions league next season.I think with what I have seen so far,Girona can go on to win the league,while Madrid will come out second this time.
You have had good observation by the teams you selected. Nobody can deny that these teams you mentioned are not playing well, and they are not the favorites to go for the next season champions league currently based on their performances, but I am observing one team that may be interrupted by one of the teams you have mentioned, which is Athletic Bilbao. Athletic Bilbao are currently in good shape too, and they are playing well. If they can continue with their current form, they may drop Atletico Madrid from their favorite team to go to the next season champions league.
With the situation that Girona can win La Liga, I will not underestimate the fact that they can't win the league because they have shown concrete proof that they can win the league in their current form. Girona is doing better than our expectations with their consistency in winning games. I believe nobody expected them to reach time with their great performances, so with what they have proven this time, I still believe they can do it to the end.
The fact that Barcelona recovered and has been winning for some time is good, they won two in a row, and that is a good thing for them. However, there are 7 points between Barcelona and the top two, which means that it would be quite near impossible for them to end up getting a win. I am not saying that it is not going to be possible, all I am saying is that it is going to have some trouble for the season in the end.
I think finishing the season third is the only thing they should focus on right now, I do not think that they would do any better, unless Girona or Real suddenly starts losing a lot of games, which I do not see happening. So Barcelona could finish third, not great, but they could also focus on next season that way.

In terms of the result it is ok for now for Barcelona, but did you see how the game against Las Palmas went? When we are talking about Barcelona and how they played in the last few games, it also has to be said that their performance sucks, it just sucks and there is nothing more to say about it. Keep in mind that I am a big Barcelona fan, but leaving aside the results anything else is bad at the moment. It is not great soccer, it is a lack of creativity and no straight and high speed attacks. This looks so mediocre most of the time that I doubt we can expect a lot from them in the next few months.
There are four teams in the Lalliga this season that are in a very active competition with each other,those teams have gotten a pattern of play which makes it easier for them to win other smaller teams when they meet them,but they only struggle with each other when they go head to head,and the team that is much stronger will eventually win.Madrid,Girona, Barcelona and Athletico have been the four best teams in the Lalliga,and they are the teams that will qualify for the top four and the Champions league next season.I think with what I have seen so far,Girona can go on to win the league,while Madrid will come out second this time.
I agree with the opinion that Girona are still playing very well to this day but saying they can win the trophy this season I think it's still quite far away because after all, apart from them having to prove themselves to be consistent until the end, they also still have to pass Madrid who currently have the same points and are above them.With the current situation indirectly indicating that the competition is still there and still very tight so it's a little difficult for me to accept that Girona can win the league this season with the situation still speculative.
Now they still have to prove themselves that they can be consistent and challengers for the title this season and that's commendable but to say they'll be champions when the season is only half over is a long way off and there's still a lot to come in the remaining games.
The fact that Barcelona recovered and has been winning for some time is good, they won two in a row, and that is a good thing for them.
