The additional three points are very important for Real Madrid in order to maintain competition at the top of the standings. Ancelotti must be able to increase Real Madrid goal productivity to reach the top position. Girona has been very surprising this season, his performance has been truly unexpected. So far, only Real Madrid and Barcelona have managed to sit in first place, but this time Girona managed to surpass the points collected by Real Madrid and Barcelona.
I don't think Girona will fight for the title. Girona may be playing very well right now, top of the points table. But it is very difficult to maintain such consistency until the end of the season. It won't be possible for a team like Girona. Perhaps in the next few weeks we will start to see the deterioration of Girona.
Real Madrid are trying to grab the top spot in the points table. They are only 1 point ahead of Barcelona. If you want to keep the top spot in the table, you have to win every match consistently. Barcelona team is strong. And so if Real Madrid can't maintain consistency, they won't be able to hold the top spot in the table. Madrid will not think about anything other than a win against Girona in the next match.
