Currently, Girona, who has won 9 of 11 matches, has managed to lead the standings with a 3 point advantage over Real Madrid. They deserve to celebrate this victory because they are really on a positive trend. Tomorrow's El Clasico match will be tense, but I'm sure Real Madrid will take home 3 points from Barcelona. Meanwhile, Barcelona has a home record without defeat from its last 5 matches this season in La Liga, so I hope Real Madrid can stop that even though Barcelona also has the potential to secure home points.
Girona are just playing really strongly when it comes to teamwork. This is their "magical formula" to be this much successful so far. There is nobody in the team who scores the most of the goals either. It is evenly divided between some midfielders and forwards pretty much. But I must admit that it was a really tough win today.
Girona played the second half much better. They just dominated the half and didn't give more than one chance to their opponent to go for a goal attempt. Even by this performance Girona barely scored in the first minute of the stoppage time. But they got what they wanted on a very critical week with an El Clasico.
Maybe this is an opportunity for Girona to take advantage of the situation when big clubs have a very busy schedule competing in the Champions League so that many players are tired and on this occasion Girona was able to win by more points.
All this is thanks to coach Michel who surprisingly can have a big influence on Girona success.
