However, Girona's process of currently being at the top of the La Liga standings is not easy. Michel Sanchez's important role as a coach was extraordinary in building the team.
Last season they also had to work hard enough to finish in the middle of the standings. but now the coach's strategy is working very well. every player understood the intent of the coach's tactics and it succeeded in placing Girona at the top, competing with Madrid and Barcelona.

It's understandable and I understand what you're trying to say but in this case I think we need to be realistic and I think Girona are also like that not that now they're not thinking about the championship of course there is that desire but for now thinking about it is still quite far away because whatever the situation is now for Girona they still have to maintain their consistency to be able to become champions especially with the dominance that is always created by Barcelona and Madrid so obviously it will still be very difficult.
It would be great if Girona in La Liga could match Leicester's achievements in the EPL a few seasons ago but even if they are not in that condition at the moment Girona must also remain proud of themselves because of what they have shown this season (the beginning to the current half of the season) it is very good.

The problem of consistency is always a very difficult factor to predict so in this case we only need to see until the end how they will perform whether they will get better or even slowly lose their stability in La Liga so in this case predicting them to win is very good and I like it if it happen cause at least there are surprises this season but if in the end they are not able to do that as long as they are in the top standings like being in the Europa League or Champions League it is already a great progress for them. Girona just have to keep playing really well so that they can continue to stabilise in terms of performance and their standings don't change too drastically next season.

Really, Girona's journey this season is like a storybook. The fact that they were only trying to avoid relegation makes their rise to the top of La Liga even more impressive. Their plan and hard work paid off. Their ability to score goals really stands out to me. None of their star players do all the work; everyone, from the wingers to the midfielders, participates. Their varied way of striking makes them a tough opponent for any team. Their enormous confidence must have grown a lot after their recent win over Barcelona. They have my support to keep their lead. Being dedicated and working as a team shows that even the "smaller" teams can dream big.

Valencia will clearly be an obstacle for Barcelona to get points, where these 3 points are very important for Barcelona not to make too much distance from Atletico Madrid who still have one match remaining as capital. Therefore, I hope that Valencia can play as hard as possible to provide tough resistance. The advantage that Valencia has is that they don't want to waste it playing at home which is a big gamble in front of the fans. If many matches are wasted Barcelona is clearly in serious trouble Xavi looks shaky because several of his players are now showing a decline in performance.

It's normal if you are disappointed but Girona deserved this result the quality of play in each line was very different and made Barcelona unable to handle it well. Barcelona made 31 shots but wasted them and 11 shots on target did not give them the lead in scoring goals. This means that Girona may be statistically below Barcelona but on the  contrary in  terms of attack  effectiveness Girona is able to control  it well.

With the way Barcelona play recently, they're very unreliable and inconsistent. They can win one match and lose or the other. There's no doubt that they play well, they create chances but they usually miss them. They are the team that has missed the most big chances in La Liga so far. They can't continue like that if they want to compete for the league.
Valencia may not be in a good form, but they also know that they can cause harm on the counter.
Aside from the fact that Barcelona finds it difficult to score, another issue is that Barcelona also concede too many cheap goals. This is why they lost the Girona game and still why they lost to Antwerp. You can't keep conceding 3 and 4 goals to teams like Girona and Royal Antwerp. The defense has not figured out how to deal with the overlapping of Cancelo and Balde and even when Kounde plays on the RB, Cancelo leaves a lot of space in behind for the defenders to deal with, plus have to stop making silly mistakes.

no club wants to be in the relegation zone and Girona is in LaLiga this season with impressive performances, no one even thought that a team like Girona could put pressure on the big Laliga teams and be at the top surpassing Real Madrid and Barcelona, Girona providing a good performance this season has made matches in LaLiga even more competitive and exciting. However, it seems that it is not yet certain whether Girona will be able to lift the trophy this season. If yes, this means that this will be a new history in LaLiga where a big team was defeated by a mediocre team like Girona.

   Girona players seem to have high solidarity, they can work together to improve the quality of the team and the quality of performance and this is all thanks to Girona coach Míchel, he was able to build the team's performance to become like this.

Barcelona is currently really weak and not in a very good form but I aswell never expected their weakness will get to this point where they will loose to a team as Giron in such a manner they they literally struggled to get the few goals they were able to score, against Girona, a few weakness of Barcelona was exposed, it became somehow obvious that lewandoski isn't in his best form anymore and much shouldn't be expected of him

Barcelona may currently not have so much confidence in how much they can perform again because Girona has been one biggest anticipation that was going to tell if they were really having a set back and some how they couldn't prove otherwise so I think they may struggle again with Valencia but then if it turns out they win Valencia then it wouldn't be long their confidence will be up again and they will be back to their form but they should definitely reduce dependency on lewandoski and hope to do well both in his presence and absence of which it's very achievable.

Barcelona performance in this season not quit well and they have losses two home matches against Real Madrid and defeated by Girona on last match, the losing trend keep continue last night on Champion League match after Barcelona defeating by Royal Antwerp. Its not good start for Barcelona have loss many points in domestic league and remaining 7 points from Girona at the first standings awhile. Upcoming match, Barcelona have away against Valencia and they should return to winning match and keep close points with Girona or Real Madrid, if loss three points Barcelona will pressure by Athletic Bilbao have 5 points left right now.

Two matches later, Barcelona will away to Valencia and home match against Almeria, on the paper its not really difficult for Barcelona get three points but if loss point their top fourth position not secure yet with Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad are waiting for move up to champion league spot standings.

I think the first goal of the Girona club is to stay in relegation, and in fact, they are safe. Now, they can blatantly compete for the league championship trophy.

Gutierrez's remarkable performances this season, especially against FC Barcelona at the weekend, were awe-inspiring. His left-footed goal in Girona's 4-2 win at Camp Nou made him attract attention from many big clubs, notably Arsenal. And the 19-year-old Brazilian player is playing for Girona on loan from Troyes. He made 18 appearances, scored 5 goals, and provided 5 assists. In the win against Barca, Savinho was the one who passed the ball to Cristhian Stuano to score the winning goal. Savinho's high form has attracted many big clubs, such as Barcelona and Real Madrid.

However, in fact, currently the absence of several important players in the Real Madrid team does not have a big impact on the team's performance significantly because the squad in Real Madrid is even enough to be able to cover many lines except the front line, that's why currently there are many rumors saying that the Real Madrid team must bring in a new striker in the January transfer market to be able to strengthen his front line.

Carlo Ancelotti seems very selfish if he doesn't bring in a new striker because it is impossible for the team to always depend on Vinicius in the front line and hope that a young midfielder will continue to score goals.

I saw that blunder against Union Berlin that led to that first goal being scored by Union Berlin striker. I didn't see the second half too bit I'm sure they must be staggering to conceded two goals in that game. With Injuries he remains the only better option to use if he wasn't alone, Miltao would have been used most definitely in games like this.

Joselu scoring twice got me flying over the moon he should have made it three goals but there was a chance that went by the side of goalin the first half of the game. With January Transfer Window upcoming, I don't know if they'll sign up a new defender as backup. Alaba has gone round two big leagues, I don't expect him to be a hundred percent.

Even though it home match for Valencia, they still won't be able to easily beat or draw against Barcelona in this home match, this match is very important for Barcelona to be able to get full points in order to catch up with 3rd place.
Atletico Madrid occupies 3rd place with 34 points, the same as Barcelona and by winning the match against Valencia, Barcelona can take over that position.
Moreover, Valencia is also not strong team and everything can be clearly proven because in 16 matches they were only able to have 5 wins with 7 defeats, this is proof that Valencia is not an opponent who can beat or hold Barcelona to draw.

Barcelona defeat in the UCL match will never affect anything because they still qualify for the last 16 and of course this defeat is only gift for Antwerp because they are at the bottom of group H.
We cannot assess and determine match results or predict team performance when competing in the Domestic League just from the results of UCL games, the difference will be very visible.
Barcelona will still be able to perform well and beat Valencia in this weekend match.

The favorite team will still be the favorite and defeat to ajust weak team is just surprise that cannot possibly be repeated in two consecutive matches.

Do you think Liverpool have returned from their slump? because they returned to the top of the standings in the middle of this season, and they always won their matches, in the last five matches they were perfect enough to collect points, when Arsenal lost to Aston Villa, Liverpool became the leader of the standings with a total of 37 points.
Liverpool's next match meets Man United and I think Liverpool will be able to beat Man United, given that man united does not have good performance, they also lost to Bournemouth last week with a result of 3-0.

I don't understand man city, why they have a bad performance and getting worse, are they facing quite complicated problems so they sink quite far from the throne?

Being apart of football city group makes me think that if girona will not be declining again. Remember that if it was a part of group that was owning manchester city. it will be so easy for girona to splash a lot of money to get talented players.
It means that if girona will able to perform even better than before. Im really hoping that if girona will make it to qualify for UCL next season. It's not a problem if girona will not able to win la liga.

As long as girona will qualify for UCL and that's enough to make me feel so happy with it. This is my first time to see girona played so crazily against barcelona. It was fully coordinated and there was no player being wasteful in the match.,
Girona deserved to win against barcelona with huge margins. Girona is very strong club right now. No doubt people have been lining it to be one of potential club to take la liga trophy this season.
Real madrid is the only strongest competitor owner by girona right now. Michel has been successfully transforming the club. Will he become another pep?

Barcelona will win their next game against Valencia, I don't think they can afford to lose two straight match in the league. After dropping points against Girona and they were already in the champions league round of 16, irrespective of the score of yesterday game. Xavi is an experienced manager and he wasn't really expecting much from them yesterday. I believe his eyes was already at the Valencia game so I think Barcelona will get back to winning ways this weekend. I can bet of this game that Barcelona will win.

David Alaba might not be playing at his best like we've seen from his days at Bayern Munich as well as when he newly joined Real Madrid but one thing factual fact we can't feign ignorance of is the fact that the Austrian is one the most experienced defenders in modern football and that's why Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti trusts him with the leadership of the club's defense in the absence of Brazilian defender Eder Militao. Alaba has made some avoidable mistakes this season but he's also in many occasions played very well for the club. I think he's gonna continue to keep his place till when Militao is fully back to fitness.

Last weekend, we saw how Barcelona were humiliated in their own home by a very impressive and outstanding Girona side and I think that has given people a different opinion about the club and how capacitated they are as a club. Valencia hasn been less impressive this season and that's why many people including bookmakers are backing Barcelona to claim all three points from that game. However, considering the fact that Barcelona will be playing that game away from home, I think Valencia stands a chance of getting something from that Spanish La Liga game on Saturday.

Now Real Madrid was very dominating in this match. But Real Madrid was also in a spot of bother. Towards the end of the match, if they were not able to score, they would have had to come out from the match with a draw. I will say that Real Madrid had a positive thing to take away from this match. Which was Joselu really performed well in this match. I wonder if Real Madrid is actually going to trust him with the striker position. I still think Real Madrid needs to get someone better. But at the same time if he ends up improving a lot, maybe Real Madrid will not have to do that.

Barcelona is now 7 points behind the league leaders. I'm disappointed with their previous loss, against Girona, as it was a good chance to narrow the points gap, but they couldn't capitalize on it. However, I still have faith in them. Barcelona will likely turn things around in their upcoming La Liga away games, starting with Valencia. After a series of defeats, Barcelona is showing impatience and losing confidence. The upcoming match against Valencia on Saturday is crucial for them to secure full points and stay competitive. It won't be easy, and Valencia could give them a tough challenge.

With the scheme and chemistry they have and with the equality of players in terms of skill and level of play, they currently do not really need star players because precisely with the entry of several new players it can actually damage the stability that has been established due to the adaptation of new players but inevitably if they want something more, especially achievements at least in the Europa League or Champions League next season I think there is nothing wrong with adding several players, especially for defense.

I don't think anyone will have a problem when talking about the championship because if in the end they can get to that stage and make new history in La Liga it's very good but for something like this of course it won't be easy because we know in the last decade or more there are only 3 clubs that can always win in La Liga even maybe the dominance of the 2 clubs Barcelona and Madrid is always happening so in this case it's good they can compete but for the championship I still doubt it.

Competing as a guest of course, Barcelona will experience a little difficulty against Valencia, even though from the statistics Valencia doesn't look consistent because they played very badly in their previous match, but in the match against Barcelona, at least Valencia must play as hard as possible to not lose points, at least they can balance Barcelona's game and share. points with Barcelona.

Barcelona are also not completely in good condition, especially considering yesterday's defeat in the UCL when they visited Antwerp, they were defeated 3-2, even though in the end they still qualified for the next round in the UCL, Xavi had to really put pressure on the players to get full points, especially The previous defeat also against Girona, they had to lose points, against Valencia at least Barcelona must be able to get full points to be able to maintain their position in the current standings.
