Yes, it's true, at the moment it's the team that plays better and is more convincing. Real Madrid has a lot of problems and can't function as it did last year.
We must also understand this that they are in a moment of crisis..
However Robert Lewandowski is playing super well

Lewandowski scored as many goals on his own as Vinicius and Mbappe did together. Maybe it matters for Lewandowski which coach he plays with, it is obvious that Flick and Xavi's strategies are different. With Xavi, Barcelona was more focused on defense, and with Flick, the team became much more productive, which is certainly preferable for forwards. And the attitude of the coach to the player is also of great importance, if Xavi said that Lewandowski is not keeping up with the team, then Flick clearly considers Lewandowski the main attacking player, that's the difference.

I don't feel pity for Girona and this serves them right. The management is not planning to strengthen the club and keep their performance stable so that they can always finish among top 4. Instead, they prefer it the way the club is right at the moment. If not why would a club sell most of their best players that contributed to their wonderful performance last season to another club because of money.

I don't know when Girona will be able to be in their best form just like that of last season, because they are trying to find their bearing this season leading to a poor performance.

You'll see that he recovers, don't sell the bear's skin if you haven't killed him yet!
I am convinced that after a reorganization it will return to being the tank it was before.
It's not a team that folds with some problems, it's a team full of professionals and capable people

Girona can still qualify for a European tournament this season. But to get a Champions League ticket again? I also doubt that a lot. They are playing much worse than last season. That dream season effort is no longer...    They can't score many goals like previously. For their defense, it isn't in good condition either. Even making it to the Conference League won't be easy for them like this.

I believe they need to prioritize improving their attacking. It was one of the main factors carrying them to the Champions League the last time.    But of course I'm aware they have lost some important names at the same time.

The pace and finishing we've seen from Mbappe are not here. He is 26 years old I think now is the best time for him to perform well. If Mbappé arrives at Real Madrid he will stop working if this is the plan then nothing good is in store for him. Every player in Real Madrid is skilled enough so if he thinks that he will only score goals with the help of other players then his thinking is completely wrong because when he does not get help from other players other players will stop him from passing the ball. There is still time for Mbappe to work hard and get back to his best rhythm, otherwise Real Madrid will see him sitting on the side bench.

As a Madrid fan, I admit that Madrid currently has a serious problem with injured players and on the one hand Barcelona and Madrid actually have different targets.
I mean, currently Madrid is more focused on other more prestigious competitions and has a harder task since the arrival of Mbappe who must unite the chemistry between the players. So what Madrid is currently experiencing puts a little pressure and if it is possible that Barcelona ends up getting the title in La Liga, I can understand it because Madrid current condition is not good.
But I had thought that if Madrid still had 1 match postponed and would be held at the end of the season, it is possible that Madrid could still get that opportunity if the points difference at the end of the season is not too big.

You are very right in both players comparison, there is no way mhappe will match lewandowski in terms of experience in the game of soccer, yes of course when a club wants a player especially a much anaticipated star, the fans and the entire club management will be expecting such player's perfomance to be very much extraordinary, it's normal but sometimes it doesn't happen that way, i think thats the situation mbappe is into now, the expectations of reamdrid towards mbappe is too high and doubt is they will be able to get such this season, personally am not following up with this comparisons because of mbappe current performance rather am making it on a general history of both players, as you have said already, there is still time for mbappe because he is stilll a young star with great potentials but in all the experience is what matters which he can still gain as time goes by, sometimes when I watch lewandowski play football, his moves and the manner at which he scores goals I begin to think if actually that age were his, that man is too good in soccer, infact currently lewandowski is the reason why i like watching barcelona match, i somuch admire him.

In my opinion, Girona should just give up on the Champions League, not to underestimate them, but considering the next 4 opponents they will face in the UCL are strong teams, I don't think Girona has a chance to advance to R16. It would be better to focus on one competition, namely La Liga, and improve their performance which is currently also struggling to compete because if their performance continues like this I doubt Girona can get a ticket to the European competition at the end of the season.

This season Lewandowski has really become a great goal scoring machine. Even Lewandowski exceeded many people's expectations this season. Because Lewandowski appeared mediocre in the previous season, many people think that Lewandowski's performance this season will be much worse. Therefore, before this season started, many people said that Lewandowski should be sold from Barcelona. But now Lewandowski has proven that he is still worthy of competing with today's young players. Apart from that, this season the Barcelona squad also performed very well, starting from the defense line, midfield and also the front line, everything was very good. So this is also an important aspect for Lewandowski's success in scoring lots of goals this season.

Then talking about Mbappe, I don't think he is still able to produce his best performance at Real Madrid. Because it has been proven in several matches that Mbappe has had difficulty making a good contribution to Real Madrid. So with this, it is only natural that Mbappe has difficulty scoring goals and is not yet able to compete with Lewandowski who has the most goals at the moment. For example, in Real Madrid's match against Osasuna, Mbappe did not really stand out in that match. Therefore, if for example Mbappe's performance continues like this and there is no good development, I think he will find it difficult to contribute well to Real Madrid or become the top scorer in Laliga. Apart from that, according to my predictions, it seems that this season Lewandowski will be a strong candidate to become the top scorer in Laliga.

There is no change in the top of the standings, everything we usually see in previous seasons, where the clubs at the top are the same clubs, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, the competition is in 4th place which is currently occupied by Villareal.
This is the composition that we always see in the La Liga standings every season. Other clubs are not used to being at the same level as the clubs I mentioned above.
I will not talk about who will be the champion this season, because it is still too early. However, when looking at the existing points table, Barcelona is leading, that opens up a wide opportunity for them to win the title this season. However, that is not certain, the league is still very long.

Robert Lewandowski's performance this season is indeed very impressive, he is able to create goals in every match he has played so far and it seems that this player is difficult to stop even Vinicius Jr and Mbappe are quite far behind at this time. If Lewandowski does not experience injury problems this season I think he will continue to score goals to become the top scorer in La Liga even though last season Lewandowski's performance was not so productive because he could only score 19 goals from 35 matches but currently in 13 matches he has created 14 goals in this case it can be concluded that age is not an obstacle at all for any player.

It is difficult for Girona to compete in the Champions League, but they should not be far behind in La Liga. But this season they are not good enough, even in La Liga they lost quite a lot of points. They have to learn a lot of lessons, when this season they can't talk much in the Champions League, of course they know their problems. But at least they have to try to maintain their position for the Champions League ticket next season. That's what some big teams do who can survive long enough for the Champions League ticket.

Even if Girona keep all their best players in the summer, they would have struggled in Champions League too. Because they are a completed newbie in Champions League that is a very tough competition. We saw Chelsea, Manchester City and PSG struggled in Champions League and they only improved their quality, mentality to play better in Champions League after many years.

Girona, in fact don't have deep financial budget, and they actually sold best players in the summer for money. They bought other players as replacements but as said, it's realistic to think Girona join Champions League this season to get experience and to enjoy this competition. There is no pressure on Girona to go far there, and their main focus will continue to be La Liga.

Actually the owner of Girona has been attempts to strengthen their squad because at least Girona bought 6 players this summer and some loan players from different clubs but i don't know why this season their performance were decline because in Laliga Girona have already to lost 5 times even in Champion league Girona most likely will not qualified to the next round because from 4 matches Girona lost 3 times and maybe you says is true that last season Girona is just lucky because they can finish at top 4 and playing at Champion league for the first time and for this season i think they will not finish at European competitions spots and top 10 is the reasonable place for them

Dovbyk also would not be able to work hard on his own in the Girona team if his midfielders and defenders were not good enough in defending and in giving him the best passes. So what Girona experienced this season is something more reasonable because besides themselves who did not develop better this season, other teams have also made better developments through their respective performances. And this has put Girona in a more difficult condition because Girona is no longer able to match the performance of other teams in La Liga and also in the Champions League this season.

Last year, the harmony between the teams was very good. This year, they could not achieve this harmony. They fell short of expectations in both the Spanish League and the Champions League. When we saw their good performance last year, we wondered if they could repeat it this year. However, Girona remained at an average level as we expected. They will continue to compete in the Spanish League to go to the European League next year.

This season Girona has experienced a significant decline in performance compared to last season, we can see how they have now been much worse and have small hope of being able to achieve what they achieved before, I think everything that is happening for Girona at the moment due to their attitude of continuing to sell every star player last season and not doing much transfer activity that can cover the departure of star players Unlike other teams in La Liga who are more active in strengthening that their squad so that they have a competitive advantage at the moment, Girona is currently ranked in the top 10 with a difference of two points from teams in the European zone, so actually they still have a chance to improve their position in the standings, if they can find consistency in the game and take advantage of every opportunity that exists in the next matchs.

Regardless of whether it was luck or not, it seems that Girona is indeed having a hard time maintaining what they showed in the previous season by surprising many people with their good performance. It is indeed not easy for a team to maintain that, because they must have all the necessary needs, one of which is mentality. For a team that was previously considered ordinary, of course it will be a burden for them when in a season they can occupy the top board and compete with teams that are usually there. A weak mentality will make them decline quickly and that is what Girona experienced.

It was just luck in one season but Girona management did not make the team better so there was a decline this season, I am not surprised by that because it has happened to several teams including one of them as you said with Leicester at that time in the Premier League.
For this season I do not have high expectations for Girona, they may only be able to be in the middle of the standings like before because overall the Girona team does not have sufficient quality.
