It is quite unexpected to see Girona leading the table after 7 rounds without any defeat and a single draw. Barcelona got 2 draws and Real Madrid lost a game once. The draw that Girona took was vs Real Sociedad in the beginning then flawless victories came successively. They will face next Real Madrid in a home game and odds are not in their favor. We will see! I doubt also they could keep that spot after the 8th round.
You're right, it's been a very extraordinary season for Girona, but I don't think Real Madrid and Barcelona will let it last too long. Barcelona failed to win the match against Mallorca which was very surprising, while Real Madrid succeeded in beating Las Palmas with a score of 2-0.
Girona certainly has a chance to take points at home against Real Madrid tomorrow, but I think this is the best opportunity for Real Madrid to reclaim first place from them. Ancelotti certainly had prepared well for the match, especially when he made several player rotations against Las Palmas. Vinicius, Bellingham and Rodrygo look ready to take the 3 points at the Estadi Montilivi, I'm sure.
