Real Madrid is leading with 8 points now. In theory, Barcelona and Girona still have the chance to overtake Real Madrid position. There are 8 remaining matches, Real Madrid still have some big matches (vs Barcelona, vs Real Sociedad, vs Real Betis). It is not impossible if Real Madrid can miss points in these matches. However, it is not a very big chance because Real Madrid performance looks quite stable/consistent.
Real Madrid will of course not allow other teams to catch up with the points that Real Madrid has. Real Madrid will continue to fight very hard to win in every match. The toughest opponent that Real Madrid faces will probably only be Barcelona. The rest is me sure Real Madrid can beat him easily.
Real Madrid will certainly not allow any other team to take their place in their current La Liga points position. Although they drew with Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League, they are still in doubt whether they will win the second leg. So I think Real Madrid will work harder in La Liga and not let any other team reach their points but will attack more strongly in their next matches against the opposition. However, the increase could have risen to compete with Real Madrid, so maybe Barca will try hard to catch Real Madrid this season. But I believe that Real Madrid will not give up so easily, rather they will be La Liga champions and this season they are the strongest in the top position by many points. And it seems impossible for any other team to win the La Liga trophy from Real Madrid this season and they will be the champions of this season.

However, this is home match for Atletico Madrid and it will be little difficult to determine who can win it, on the other hand, Girona has also had fairly stable performance in recent times.
It just that I think Girona will still be able to perform well in this away match, we see what happens but I will try to make Girona the favorite.

There is no doubt that Atletico Madrid are strong at home. While the team's performance in away matches is erratic, Atletico Madrid players are confident and perform well in home matches. Atletico Madrid have won 13 out of 15 home matches. Even in the Champions League match, Atletico Madrid team got a nice win against Dortmund yesterday.

Considering the home match, I consider Atletico Madrid as favorites. And I will bet on Atletico Madrid to win. Girona's performances are erratic at the moment. The players of the team are not performing well consistently. My guess is Atletico Madrid will win the match 2-1.

Just remember, their players were relatively unknown, without big names, so I doubt this tactic will work out. I would suggest they continue their improved performance into the next season, then something similar could happen. We should remember that most managers do well with smaller teams rather than big ones. However, there's a lot of politics in a club, and a manager isn't always in full control. If the club authority receives a high offer, they might decide to sell players, which would definitely affect their gameplay. A coach can get frustrated by a useless board, and their performance is bound to drop.
However, because of Girona's good performance this season, Girona players are increasingly known by many people and several big clubs will definitely pay attention to the statistics of these players and may be interested in bringing them in at the end of this season, so in my opinion the names of Girona players can be known because of their good performances and their hard work during this season and don't forget the tactics given by the Girona coach. If Girona is easily tempted by high offers, they will release their players and use the money to buy relatively cheaper players, but this also requires mutual agreement whether Micel is also capable of this situation and the possibility of a different composition when coaching Girona next season.

Selling current players and buying other players may not necessarily give the same performance, sometimes it can be better and sometimes it can be worse, but this depends on the tactics given by the Girona coach, if he is still able to provide stable performance to Girona players then Girona's performance this season The future will be fine, but if Micel has difficulty with the new composition, it is possible that Girona will experience a decline because after all Micel still needs to adapt to new players.

It is clear, ATM and Girona will not want to share points in this match, considering that both really need an additional 3 points to strengthen their respective positions in the standings. ATM latest victory in the Champions League will certainly increase the players confidence, but the challenge faced by Simeone fleet is fatigue.
Girona will definitely try their best to improve their performance and want to get maximum points and I think Girona's first meeting against Atletico Madrid with a score of 4-3 will certainly have a confident impact on Girona.

but I am sure that the first meeting in La Liga with a narrow score of 4-3 will make Athletico Madrid confident in the upcoming match and yes we have seen Athletico Madrid's match in the quarter-finals of the 1st leg in the Champions League which was successful against Dortmund and that means to show Athletico Madrid's strength is so great.

The fatigue factor will definitely affect Athletico Madrid's performance, but of course Athletico Madrid will be able to appear confident and must be able to rest as much as possible with the time available. To be honest, it is very difficult to predict the result of Athletico Madrid's match against Girona, it seems like a draw will be deserved by both teams.
For the next match, Girona vs Atletico Madrid and this match is an important match for both teams because they will try to beat each other and get comfortable position in the La Liga standings.
Girona will chase victory in every match, one of which is the match against Atletico Madrid to be able to catch up with Barcelona who is in second place.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid itself will try to win this match to be able to have further point difference from Bilbao because they have the opportunity to be overtaken by Bilbao in the future.

However, this is home match for Atletico Madrid and it will be little difficult to determine who can win it, on the other hand, Girona has also had fairly stable performance in recent times.
It just that I think Girona will still be able to perform well in this away match, we see what happens but I will try to make Girona the favorite.

For Real Madrid to achieved 75 points to gap other teams in the la Liga league tournament, I don't think there will be challenges in their remaining matches, because they still have the strength to continue displaying to bring glory to the team and you can see what they did to Manchester city in the champion league to draw the quarter final in their first leg. Based on the points Barcelona have in the table, it will make them to regret for allowed some mistakes to appear in some of their matches in the past that made them to lose some matches, because they are in second position with 67 points and for them to drag the first position with Real Madrid,they have to win all their remaining matches and it will not be possible for them to achieve. Even though Real Madrid and Barcelona still meet again in their remaining matches, Real Madrid will still defeat them like the way they defeated Girona that was having the same points with them in the past matches.

Madrid has a big difference in points with Barcelona, ​​namely 8, but yes, I agree with you because in theory there is hope for Girona and Barcelona to surpass Ancelotti's troops in points, but I am sure Ancelotti will definitely not underestimate the opponents that Real Madrid will face.
If Real Madrid and Barcelona continue to be busy in Champions League, advantage will belong to Real Madrid. If Real Madrid stop at quarter finals, Barcelona move next to semi finals, Real Madrid will have bigger advantage in La Liga. Only hope for Barcelona in La Liga is they stop at Champions League quarter finals and Real Madrid move to semi finals. I believe it is not what Barcelona hope too because playing more in Champions League will bring more money to Barcelona.

In my opinion, Real Madrid and Barcelona's progress in the Champions League depends on the physicality of the players of each team, but I think Girona will benefit more because the fatigue factor experienced by both teams will definitely be felt and Michel's troops will definitely feel it. more rest due to not taking part in the Champions League.

Yes, if for example Madrid does not qualify for the semifinals, Madrid certainly has the potential to maintain its position at the top of the Laliga standings, but sometimes it does not rule out the possibility that if Madrid passes to the semifinals then Madrid not lose and will be confident of winning the Laliga and Champions League trophies. because usually from a mental perspective it will definitely encourage Madrid players so actually there is no certainty about this but what is clear is that it depends on the performance of the players and coaches which determines success.

Yes, Madrid definitely wants to win the Champions League and La Liga, and so does Barcelona. But of course Madrid has a greater chance of becoming champion in Laliga.

Already real Madrid has secure the first position very well because even Barcelona that's currently on the second position doesn't even stand a chance to compete with real Madrid because real Madrid is leading them with 10 points different and there is no way Barcelona can catch up with them because 10 points is much to compete with, however it seems Barcelona interest now is not even on the Spanish La Liga again because they no that there is no way for them on this La Liga so they are focusing more on the champions League if they can come out with a positive outcome, well Barcelona has really made a good impact on this season because they were able to shown most of the clubs that they are still good even if they may not have all the quality players needed.

except for Real Madrid position.
from everything you say, it is true that the top 4 in the standings or even the top 5 in the standings will still have a lot to change in the remainder of this match, but it doesn't look like shifting Real Madrid position will be too easy for anyone below Madrid.
In Laliga, Real Madrid has the most consistent performance compared to other teams. Because in the last 10 matches Real Madrid has played in LaLiga, as far as I know, they have never been defeated. So I think it will also be very difficult for other teams like Girona and Barcelona to shift Real Madrid's position from the top of the standings. Although the possibility still exists, it is certainly very small. The reason is that strong teams like Barcelona, ​​Girona or Atletico Madrid too, cannot beat Real Madrid. So it is certain that other teams will most likely have more difficulty beating Real Madrid. Even to match Real Madrid's game, I think it will most likely be a little difficult. So at the end of this season, I also predict that Real Madrid's ranking will most likely not be shifted again by other teams in Laliga.

And regarding positions 2 to 5 in the La Liga standings, the positions can still change in the remaining matches this season. The reason is that the difference in points between teams in positions 2, 3, 4 and 5 is not too big. So the drama of shifting rankings in this position (2-5) will definitely continue until the end of the season. However, what is interesting about this ranking shift drama (2-5) is definitely the competition between Barcelona and Girona. The reason is that in the last few weeks, Barcelona and Girona have always changed positions in the Laliga standings. And this week, the ranking shift could happen again. The reason is that Barcelona and Girona are currently only 2 points apart. So if in the next match Barcelona loses, and Girona wins, it is certain that Girona will move back up to 2nd place again. However, if it were the other way around, Barcelona would definitely be stronger in 2nd place in Laliga.

Next week there will be a match between Atletico Madrid vs Girona. This match will be held at Atletico Madrid's headquarters and that is an advantage for them. In the last 5 matches, the two teams were quite evenly matched in terms of match results, they only lost 2 times, but the difference was that Atletico Madrid achieved 1 draw while Girona did not.
They are 7 points away in the standings now, if Atletico Madrid can win this match then they will close the gap to 4 points, but if Girona can win then they will be more comfortable in 3rd place in the standings.
Atletico Madrid will try hard to win this match, because if they lose then they will be displaced by Atletico Bilbao who are just below them with a distance of only 2 points.
It is quite difficult to predict who will win in a tight match like this. Because I think their chances are not much different, 40/60 is probably the percentage I can give in this match.
This will be a very big match for Atletico Madrid and they will try as much as possible to win this game without minding the team they’re going to be playing against. Girona on the other hand will also be in their best form to secure their third place after dropping from first place to second place and now on third position on the standings. I am very confident for both teams and I will rate them both on an even level because they are both in need of a win in this match and would be at their best. When teams plays at their best, it becomes very hard to predict who the winner will be.
To be fair, Athletico Madrid has to win not to keep going up, because they can't get past Girona at this point, it's almost guaranteed that they can't finish in top three, so they have to win in order to avoid getting hit by Athletic Club, who are just two points away from them, a loss by ATM and a win by ATC, it means ATC will take the fourth spot, and it would be highly difficult to take that away from them too, not impossible but not ideal situation neither.

In the end, ATM could win against Girona, they are not a bad team and Girona is a good team too but a new team, ATM has been playing the same ball for many years now and a bit more established, so the end of the season games require some sort of experience that ATM has more than Girona.

I think Girona have been improving gradually over the years and the fact that their players have been playing together for long is another thing to their advantage. I don't expect expect to change anytime soon and that will mean that they would have transfoed from a low club to a top team. Of they eventually qualify for champions league next season in line with the expectations of their teaming supporters, that will be a big boost to their morale and team spirit. Indeed the future is looking so bright for them.
They have improved drastically and it could be due to the fact that they have played together for long or because they have a good chemistry with each other and the coaches. Keeping the same players for more years would be difficult because bigger teams will come for their star players because they are a small team and every player dreams of playing for a bigger club. Sooner or later big teams will come for their star players and when they do it will affect them and their style of play. They should enjoy this moment while they can because they will soon go back to being inferior team as they used to be.
Girona went on a winning streak earlier this season which led many to expect the team to be long-term. I went to the posts of people who had long term plans for Girona and commented that this team will not be a consistent performance team at all and the title will go to either Real Madrid or Barcelona. Girona is as professional a team as Real Madrid and not as consistent as Real Madrid but not as professional or as consistent a team. It's no regret that Girona didn't win the title this season, but the way they did and with teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona on their side, holding the number one position in the points table for a long time, is certainly admirable. Hopefully this season's success will motivate them more in the coming season.

ATM latest victory in the Champions League will certainly increase the players confidence, but the challenge faced by Simeone fleet is fatigue.
Girona and Atletico Madrid have to keep their eyes on Athletic Club at the fifth position. If they are not carefully, either Girona or Atletico Madrid will be beaten by Athletic Club and will not be qualified for Champions League 2024 - 2025. Get a third position in La Liga is interesting but a more important task for them is secure their position in top four against pressure from Athletic Club.

Girona players don't have to play in middle of this week and it's advantage for Girona in an important match with Atletico Madrid that played a difficult match with Dortmund.

Only hope for Barcelona in La Liga is they stop at Champions League quarter finals and Real Madrid move to semi finals. I believe it is not what Barcelona hope too because playing more in Champions League will bring more money to Barcelona.

Real Madrid are facing fierce competitive race from Barcelona this season, though I think the Blaugrana are already late and this have been out of balance and equation for Xavi Hernandez. Carlo Ancelotti and his team are ambitious and they will continue to strive for outstanding results this season, it's not easy but at the end of the day, it's ensure this elite team takes the major tournaments serious. Real Madrid have 90% on UEFA Champions League but shared 10% on La Liga matches, Los Blancos have nothing to worry about because they've turn up their outstanding performance for the team.

With the way Girona have been dropping points for some time now and looking at how strong Atletico Madrid have become even they showed their capacity in their Champions league game against Borussia Dortmund where they won by 2:1 and have an advantage of qualifying for the champions league semi finals so if they use same energy on Girona, they will win though Girona needs to focus more on the rest of their matches in other to have a spot on Champions league next season because if Atletico madrid wins that means the gap between the both teams will start closing up.

The only thing I think will affect Atletico Madrid is that since they played match today against Borussia Dortmund, most of their players may be tired playing Girona just within a short time after the champions league game.
It's very true Atletico may have case of fatigue but i still think they will be able to  manage it because normally they have a good form and strength currently such that they are not going to be just too weak enough for girona to see an easy chance around them to gain victory just like that. A few of the games they have played before now shows how much of strength they could exhibit and so not letting girona be a problem to them.

Girona since this season has been in their good form but then they actually didn't have that capacity to Maintain a form around the top of the table because they don't have that stamina and form thst can actually give them such form enough to be able to  stay long enough at the top of the table and keep them to be there long enough rill the end of the season and so they got displaced mid season a d since then they have been unable to get back to the top of the table again and have been struggling around the top four buy haven't fallen off within thst position.

Borussia dortmud didn't actually stress atletico so much to be an excuse for them to not be able still be able to play their league games and still win where necessary buy the problem is thst fatigue is something we cannot just skipp but then we definitely have to find a way around it which i think most definitely they will be doing because they still need maintain a good stand in the champions league so Incase they are unable to still continue in the champions league they can be sure to qualify again.

Each will hope for his own advantage instead of the other team, which is obviously very natural. But I believe Atletico Madrid will likely win this match according to their plan. Today Atletico Madrid managed to win the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Dortmund, so the players' morale and motivation will be very good before facing Girona at home.

Maybe there will be a risk in choosing one of them as the winner, because of the poor way they ended their last few matches. Girona and Atletico Madrid have not been very consistent so far, but because Atletico Madrid is playing at home I think they will have the home advantage to play better. A draw is certainly more favorable for Girona, Barcelona and Bilbao, but Atletico Madrid looks good enough to hope to win.
It is clear, ATM and Girona will not want to share points in this match, considering that both really need an additional 3 points to strengthen their respective positions in the standings. ATM latest victory in the Champions League will certainly increase the players confidence, but the challenge faced by Simeone fleet is fatigue.

ATM certainly wants revenge for their previous defeat, their opportunity is quite big because Girona is currently in an unstable period. Apart from that, ATM will be at an advantage because they will be playing at home, the additional 3 points are a priority to keep their position safe from being chased by Bilbao. But this season, all teams cannot take Girona for granted, their luck may continue again.

Barcelona hopes Girona will drop points, as do Bilbao who hope ATM can stumble. But despite it all, I am sure that ATM and Girona will be able to finish in the top four of the standings, even though there are several other tough matches waiting for them ahead. This time it looks like victory will be on ATM side, Simeone fleet seems to be back on a positive track.

another reason I say this is because I am a little doubtful about the final result of Madrid who will fight in the UCL because the match at home still only ends in a draw and in the second leg I am worried that Madrid will not be able to withstand attacks from Man City and end up failing again to qualify for the tournament semi final round. and when Real Madrid fails to qualify for the next round of course Madrid will only focus on the La Liga match
Why you feel doubtful with Real Madrid in UCL? I think Real Madrid showed a good match in UCL yesterday. They were playing quite well in the match, Ancelotti used an effective tactic. I am still optimistic Real Madrid can beat Man City in Leg 2 because Real Madrid actually can play better if they used a better formation or lineup. Anyway, Real Madrid still can maintain their position in La Liga even if they need to play until the final round in UCL. There should be enough time for taking a rest between UCL match and La Liga match.

I doubt if Girona can perform like this next season, even though they qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League. Since Girona's performance this season in La Liga is good, big clubs will want to sign some of Girona's best players when the La Liga season ends. This will make Girona perform poorly next season because they will be without their best players.


Girona is a club that is very surprising with its current abilities and it is unexpected that Girona will perform well in Laliga this season, being able to compete with top clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Yes, I personally also feel afraid if, for example, next season in Laliga or in the Champions League, good Girona players leave Girona during the transfer market, for example, like Dovbyk.

but in my opinion it would be a shame if, for example, someone bought Girona's key players, which of course is when Girona will flap its wings to fly and in the end it won't fly far because the key players were bought during the transfer market In fact, in my opinion, Girona next season it should bring in good players from outside without reducing Girona's key players.

but yes, I hope Girona will be fine next season and hopefully they will get stronger.

It will be a match that Barcelona will follow. Another team is Athletic Bilbao. Both teams will want to defeat the team closest to them. Of course, Girona has the advantage, but Atletico Madrid is a difficult team but will come out of a difficult match. They will play against Girona after the Champions League match. I think Girona will take the advantage in the league.
Both Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao must expect Girona or Atletico Madrid gets bad results. So they will take the advantage from the bad results. Barcelona will be safe in 2nd place if Girona fails to get full points. Meanwhile Athletic Bilbao will have the chance to overtake Atletico Madrid in 4th place if they fail to get 3 points in the upcoming match. Well, the result of the match Atletico Madrid vs Girona may influence the positions on the La Liga standings.

Sure Girona has the advantage because they will play at home and they have a longer time to prepare the match. Girona players also have enough time to take a rest. It is different with Atletico Madrid players, they won't have enough time to take a rest because they are playing in UCL today. And it is also an away match for them, it won't be easy to play in the opponent home. In theory, Girona has a better chance to win the match but we can't underestimate Atletico Madrid because they are also a strong team.
