This is the first win for Osasuna in the last 5 matches and they also closed the victory at home with a narrow score of 1-0 against Vallecano. To be honest, it is quite clear that Osasuna will win because they can always be relied on when playing home games. Statistics also show that Osasuna controlled the match with ball possession of 61% and Vallecano only 39%, however the chances for these two teams were quite even but Raul scored the only goal in this match. This was a dramatic victory for Osasuna because through injury time they managed to win this match and this result made Osasuna move up to 12th position temporarily. Vallecano's position is also quite threatened and vulnerable to being shifted next week.
I'm very certain Girona is going to win the match against Deportivo Alaves because with the current position of Girona on the La Liga table they will never jock with any match because any opportunity they miss will automatically become an advantage for Real Madrid because there points difference is not much so the only way for Girona to continue leading on the table is to always maintain there constant wining.
Of course, Girona should win against Deportivo Alaves. Girona is on fire, they also showed us that they can perform consistently. So far, Real Madrid is the only team that can steal points from Girona. In theory, Girona will have no problem to play against other teams, specifically for the weak teams like Deportivo Alaves.But in matchday 18, Girona will play away against Real Betis. And they also will play against Atletico Madrid in matchday 19. These matches will be tough matches for Girona. But since they could beat Barcelona, I am sure Girona players will be confident to play against Real Betis and Atletico Madrid. They must target to get full points, they don't target to get draws.
And also there prayer should be that Real Madrid should lose or draw there match so that if they eventually wins Deportivo Alaves they will stand on upper edge against Real Madrid and before Real Madrid could meet them again they might have gone far so perhaps with that Girona is sure of first or second position at the end of the league.
Real Madrid won't expect much for the match. They must understand that Girona won't miss the chance to get full points. I'm sure Real Madrid will prefer to focus on their own match against Villareal. Real Madrid must plan to prepare their best lineup to get full points as well. They need 3 points to keep the competition for the title this season.
La Liga is not the same as the Bundesliga or the English Premier League. We have clubs that can handle pressure and those that are simply lucky in winning matches without demonstrating exceptional performance. Losing is an option for clubs that can no longer withstand pressure and convert it into goals. Girona are underappreciated in La Liga, and with all eyes on them, they can pose a serious threat to the Gironistes. Real Madrid and Barcelona can only hope to draw points with Girona; they cannot defeat them because they're in prime form this season.
Yeah I agree Girona can be a threat to anyone but the competition is almost halfway through the season, meaning there are still many games left and Girona's competitors have not yet focused on facing competition in the local league their concentration is divided into European competitions and that is another advantage for Girona but it must be remembered that when the competitors finish in European competitions, Girona must be careful that means the competitors are ready to fight with all their abilities without being burdened with other competitions only focus on the local league. At least 4-5 clubs are still competing in European competition and all of these clubs are still advanced to the next round so Girona must be able to use it as best they can, every one point will be very important for them.
This week Girona was very lucky because 3 of their competitors failed to get 3 points Real Madrid and Barcelona only draw while Atletico Madrid was defeated by Bilbao, this is clearly an advantage for Girona. Real Madrid and Girona still have one match to play and I think the two will be able to win the game because against a weaker team and play at home so the two teams are still 2 points adrift. By the way, Almeria seems to have ordered a place in relegation they have no way to get out of there because they only collect 4 points from 16 matches.
In this case, will Girona follow in the footsteps of Leicester who became EPL champions in 2016? Can Girona become a strong challenger to clubs like Barca, Madrid and ATM in the following seasons to become league champions? Or will you just be lucky for one season and become a mediocre and bottom club in the following seasons? We will see later
I think Griona will be able to maintain itself for one season, like Leicester City, and only in La Liga will it be able to maintain itself for one season. The rest is also true: Girona will be able to qualify for the champion league, and it is also hoped that this time it will win the league, but it is still not completely free of danger. There are still many clubs that you can prevent from winning the league, that is, you can reduce points from Girona in the match in case of a draw or a loss. Apart from that, Barcelona and Real Madrid have now left the competition, which means they can't compete in La Liga without hesitation. They are just waiting for Geriona to lose if Girona loses or draws a couple of matches. So hopefully Real Madrid can take the league lead. 
But isn't the easiest answer to say that you don't believe Girona will not win simply because the odds are against them? Will Aston Villa win the Premier League or Leverkusen the Bundesliga? If someone had to make a choice and something important would be on the line, you would always be against the surprise as it would indeed be a surprise and it wouldn't be clever to stick with it unless you put something at risk that you can afford to lose.

Girona are underappreciated in La Liga, and with all eyes on them, they can pose a serious threat to the Gironistes. Real Madrid and Barcelona can only hope to draw points with Girona; they cannot defeat them because they're in prime form this season.Girona has lost 1 time and the one who beat Girona is Madrid, in February, Girona will face Madrid, well in this match it is very likely that Girona's victory will be interrupted because Marid is not an easy team to beat, until the end of the season I'm not sure Giroan will is at the top of the standings, Girona will definitely only finish in the top 3 until the end of the season. Madrid is a team that is difficult to shift, they deserve to dominate La Liga, they have the best squad and Girona is only a temporary obstacle for Madrid to be at the top of the La Liga standings.
Real Madrid are the contenders to win the La Liga title this season. Real Madrid have improved themselves a lot in this season. I believe that in 23/24 season, Real Madrid's talented players will be able to build their fortunes through hard work. As a Real Madrid fan, I expect every player to step forward with enthusiasm. Although Real Madrid are not at the top of the La Liga points table, Real Madrid want to change their points very soon. I never imagined that Girona, who are at the top of the points table with 41 points, can leave the big teams behind like this.
Real Madrid will always be a candidate in this competition, even though it won't be as successful as Ronado and his contemporaries. this season, Madrid remains one of the strong candidates to win the La Liga trophy. moreover, their rivals are currently experiencing several problems in the Barcelona squad. especially, when it comes to scoring goals. also, Barcelona's defense is not as solid as last season. So Madrid's challenge for now is only Girona, who are two points behind. So, it's just a matter of time for Madrid to move to the top of the standings. It could be that Girona ends up slipping in some of their matches. or, when the second leg match is met at Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu headquarters. What is certain is that Madrid has plenty of time to shift Girona's ranking with a schedule that still has a lot of matches left. Apart from that, Madrid has Bellingham who is the difference in their squad by scoring 12 goals. Even though some goals are scored easily, the fact is that Bellingam is also capable of creating spectacular goals. I'm not a Madrid supporter, but it's only fair that Madrid has a better chance at the moment than Barcelona.
However, in fact, it's not just Girona that might be an obstacle to Real Madrid's progress. In fact, ATM is currently ranked 3rd, with one match postponed. which means, ATM could reduce the difference in points from Real Madrid. On the other hand, Michel's squad will always try to defend their position as far as they can. Likewise with Barcelona, Xavi will definitely carry out a lot of evaluations of his squad. Let's just see, at the end of the first season, whether there will be a change in position at the top of the standings. or, the actual match in the second half of the La Liga season. So there's no harm in waiting, after all there are still a lot of matches happening until the end of this season.
While Real Madrid is getting closer to the games against Villarreal, it seems some of the injured players of Real Madrid are ready to be back in the game for the match they are going to have against Villarreal. Real Madrid is definitely a good team and has a good chance of beating Villarreal with or without some players in their team but their French player Tchouaméni is ready for this match while we were expecting to see him return to the games after the new year but Tchouaméni can play against Villarreal.
However, there are still some other injured players like Camavinga in this team.
The temporary break at UCL should give Real Madrid time to focus on finishing the competition in La Liga with Girona. So I also have hope that Madrid can catch up to Girona position more quickly. All that remains is to ensure the players because if some suffer injuries it will certainly be very ineffective in supporting Madrid aggression.
Meanwhile, other teams such as Atletico Madrid look very enthusiastic about tomorrow's match against Atletico Bilbao at San Mames. For Diego Simeone troops, this match is very important to create a gap with Barcelona, who had to accept defeat in yesterday's match by Girona. However, the enthusiasm of the Atletico Madrid players is not much different from that of the Bilbao players because their target is the same, namely wanting to bring down Barcelona and take over their position.
Well I think that Real Madrid is completely calm and they are ok with the situation because why should they not. There is one team now that is doing exceptionally well, but ask the question what is more likely? That Real Madrid maintains their level or that Girona maintains their level? And I think that is where the key for Real Madrid is to win the La Liga title at the end of the season. In my opinion it is more likely that Real Madrid will be very stable at this level throughout the season whereas Girona might experience some weaker games and lose points. What Girona has done is unbelievable and yet they only managed to win 2 more points than Real Madrid. That demonstrates how tough it is to stay ahead.

I never imagined that Girona, who are at the top of the points table with 41 points, can leave the big teams behind like this.
Real Madrid started early enough to integrate very young, high potential players like Vinicius Junior, Camavinga and a few others while keeping players like Modric and Kroos to have the right balance in the team. I think they have done a better job in restructuring the squad and rejuvenating it. The Bellingham transfer is hard to describe and to be honest, I think this guy is really a present from the god of soccer. Really, how often does a player develop like that at such a young age and then also score like Bellingham? This has been a big surprise to me as I thought he would be a great transfer even if he only scored 25% of the goals he scored. But this was like a big jackpot for Ancelotti and Real Madrid.
Valencia - Barcelona will be a really tight match. Even though Valencia has only gotten 1 point in the last 4 matches, they can cause problems for big teams from time to time. For example, they beat Atletico Madrid 3-0 this season. Barcelona first lost to Girona in the league, then lost to Royal Antwerp in the Champions League. Although they came out of the group in the Champions League as leaders, losing is always demoralizing.
Barcelona has always beaten Valencia in the last 5 matches, and the most interesting point about this statistic is that they have never won 6 times in a row before. So, in this match, either a new record will be broken or Barca's streak will end. It will be an interesting match in this respect.
La Liga comprises of good and poor results. The continuous streak winning can happen or record break cam be triggered. Xavi Hernandez is confused at the moment, the only thing he can do is wait for the January transfer window to reach, were he had to release players that are not up to the require standards he want and will do anything to bring in new players. Barcelona have a very good stellar records against Valencia in past seasons. Perhapes the last game played, winning an average side like Valencia 1-0 was accompanied by hardluck and we have seen tough clubs becoming very good in matches. Barcelona has always beaten Valencia in the last 5 matches, and the most interesting point about this statistic is that they have never won 6 times in a row before.

I haven't actually paid attention to this water crisis in Spain, but when I read this headline I thought I should have a closer look at what is going on there. This is crazy and I think when a football club is forbidding its players to take showers within their facilities, things have already gone out of control. But it is a good measure showing the people that there is no privilege for the rich and sports professionals. However, if I understand the article correctly, the prices will go up but there is also a limit of 210 litres a day per resident. I wonder how that applies to sports facilities like the Barcelona stadium and how far could this crisis go? I see that there are jokes being made about potential hygiene effects for away teams when they play in the Barcelona stadium, but I guess this isn't really a good time for jokes.
This water scarcity incident became more serious when there was a statement that all staff and players were not allowed to bathe in stadium facilities, this will of course save the use of water which is currently scarce. Even when other clubs visit, these rules will remain the same. Saving water applies to everyone.
The problem is that drought in Spain does not only occur in one region.
The Coordinator of Farmers and Ranchers Organizations (COAG) warned in mid-April that the country's long-term drought had caused "irreversible losses" to more than 5 million hectares of crops in Andalusia (south), Extremadura (east), Castilla- La Mancha (center), and Murcia (southeast).
So the decision to save water is quite wise.

Barcelona seem to have some challenges with injury and a shaky defense line and Girona seem to be the major contenders; I don’t think they’ll be able to match Madrid especially when the full squad gets back from injury Well I don’t think ATM will be much an obstacle because of course we know they can switch up form and get bad so I think I give Madrid better chance of winning this League this season.

We are now halfway through the season and it would be great if Girona remained in the half-season winners but there are still a few games they have to play and facing Alaves this week I actually don't think this is a big challenge but they could have missed this match.
But isn't the easiest answer to say that you don't believe Girona will not win simply because the odds are against them? Will Aston Villa win the Premier League or Leverkusen the Bundesliga? If someone had to make a choice and something important would be on the line, you would always be against the surprise as it would indeed be a surprise and it wouldn't be clever to stick with it unless you put something at risk that you can afford to lose.
Girona does look quite extraordinary this season, but there are still other teams such as Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid who are not far apart from Girona at the moment in the La Liga standings. Of course, this will also open up opportunities for the two teams to continue to stick with Girona, who are at the top of the standings, in order to win trophies in La Liga. Because the potential of teams like Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid is still quite good this season, Girona also still needs to be wary of these two teams this season because both of them can still be candidates for champions this season in La Liga.

La Liga is not the same as the Bundesliga or the English Premier League. We have clubs that can handle pressure and those that are simply lucky in winning matches without demonstrating exceptional performance. Losing is an option for clubs that can no longer withstand pressure and convert it into goals. Girona are underappreciated in La Liga, and with all eyes on them, they can pose a serious threat to the Gironistes. Real Madrid and Barcelona can only hope to draw points with Girona; they cannot defeat them because they're in prime form this season.I wouldn't say that, surely both Real Madrid and Barcelona realise what they are up against and certainly won't underestimate their opponents. Girona are not that far away, just 2 points ahead of Real, and the same thing could happen to them that happened to Arsenal last season, when with 10 rounds to go they dropped to second place and their potential victory evaporated into thin air.
Osasuna vs Rayo Vallecano, this is interesting but I prefer watching Nottingham vs Tottenham. Rayo Vallecano is a strong team, they too often ruin Barcelona's game plans with their defense, but maybe today they can't win this game. I think a draw is quite fair for these two teams.
If we can look at how each club performomg in this match, I think the result will be a draw if it continues like this. Both Osasuna and Rayo Valeccano are still unable to optimize their opportunities to advance further into the opponent's defense area. Their statistics are just like that and if you look at the match, not many changes occurred during the match. So maybe the final result will be a draw. unless one of them is lucky and can score a goal in the next minute. 
At the moment Girona are the most prolific club with 38 goals in La Liga over 16 games but their defense isn't great either although it's not bad in my opinion.
There are still some situations that they need to improve on especially the alignment of their defensive midfielders and defenders but it's something that can be improved. At the moment it looks like Girona's scheme has caught up with some of the other big clubs because they realize scoring goals in a game is important so in the few games they have played their focus has continued to be on the hunt for goals which in turn can be a reversal of their defense which is still a bit fragile but I think it's still a very good strategy that Girona are implementing at the moment.
They also showed us in the Barcelona match that they are very effective when they play offensively, but they also know how to play against a strong opponent. They made great use of their quick attacks against Barcelona and scored 4 goals. This team is well prepared for the counter attack. Girona may make a big surprise in Europe this year.There are still some situations that they need to improve on especially the alignment of their defensive midfielders and defenders but it's something that can be improved.

This is a situation that I think is good and if in the end things like this continue to be maintained by Girona then indeed this could be their surprising secret weapon to navigate the season well and finish in a comfortable place for them.

One of the determinants might be that the city can wait for the next 2 matches where Girona will face Real Betis, which incidentally is a fairly strong club in La Liga, while Real Madrid will face Alaves, which of course has a greater chance of winning. This match might be dramatic, because it could be that Real Madrid will take over, or on the contrary, Girona will continue to be at the top of the standings. This is quite difficult to confirm, because Girona always provides consistent and good performance.Anyway, now is playing Ossasuna vs Rayo.
The current position is still tied at 0 - 0. Indeed, on the one hand, Ossasuna is quite dominant, but Rayo still has the opportunity to attack Ossasuna's goal, and has actually carried out more counter attacks so far. It's just that they haven't managed to score a goal. This is an important match for them because it can affect their position. The point gap between the two is quite small, only 2 points, so there will be quite a significant struggle. We'll see.

Real Madrid and Barcelona can only hope to draw points with Girona; they cannot defeat them because they're in prime form this season.You forget that Real Madrid faced Girona in the first leg and defeated them with clean sheets 3-0, and I am confident that even if they meet again in the second leg, they will still collect goals. Girona is performing well, but they cannot be compared to Real Madrid in the league. Barcelona is simply not in good form this season; they are not playing like they did last season, which helped them win the La Liga title. Xavi needs to sell some players in the blub and sign some new young players to the club because Barcelona does not have enough funds to sign players, you will see even Felix and cancelo are just on loans to the club, is better xavi should try and make them to full contract in the team because Felix will help the club very well how is playing in the pitch and position is self and score goal, because there match against Athletico Madrid he perform very well in the game.
-snip-
I think Girona has a big chance to finish this season in UCL zone. They already showed us that they could maintain their good performance against strong team like Barcelona. So far, they only got 1 defeat, against Real Madrid. This means that Girona can beat all teams in La Liga, except Real Madrid.Anyway, now is playing Ossasuna vs Rayo.
The current position is still tied at 0 - 0. Indeed, on the one hand, Ossasuna is quite dominant, but Rayo still has the opportunity to attack Ossasuna's goal, and has actually carried out more counter attacks so far.
