Girona and Real Madrid continue to move past each other at the top of the La Liga standings this season and the previous narrow win against Celta Vigo put Girona ahead again by 1 point. The match was very exciting and balanced, but Girona's needs began to break in the 20th minute after Portu scored a goal to give Girona the advantage in this away match. Both teams attacked each other and neither wanted to give in, but in the end this narrow lead lasted until the final minute.
In fact, Celta Vigo also put quite a lot of pressure on Girona and they recorded 10 goal attempts but they all failed. Girona has a slightly better record than Celta Vigo but cannot increase the goal difference more. Despite all that, Girona assured this victory and brought home 3 points from Celta Vigo. The competition in La Liga this season is completely limited to Girona and Real Madrid. If we look at Barcelona, which has a difference of around 10 points more than these two teams, then it is impossible for Barcelona to catch them both.
We see that Girona and Madrid are still very consistent with their performance, so as you said, I really agree, it is impossible for Barcelona to overtake these two teams in the future. The only best hope is to maintain its position in the top four of the standings, even though it can no longer compete for trophies in the future. It's true, the competition for the trophy only revolves around Madrid and Girona, I predict Ancelotti squad will win the trophy at the end of the season, because they are used to all the pressure before the season ends. Girona is the most serious dark horse in this season race, Michel squad deserves more attention because it has been able to beat many other La Liga contestants.
Madrid and Girona in their last match managed to get full points, both were only able to win narrowly, but that not a big problem because what important is the 3 points. However, as we can see that Barcelona is going through a bad period, it is no longer possible for Xavi squad to retain the trophy with the point difference that has been created. The financial crisis that occurred was the reason behind Barcelona decline, that's why Xavi decided to resign when the season ended, he couldn't do much to advance the club for the better.
