How Girona turned to a formidable team still surprises me. One unique thing about them is their resilience, not minding of they are playing a big side like Barcelona or Real Madrid. I am very convince they will finish the season around the top to securing one of the European competitions.
Girona presence in the top four of the standings is very surprising, especially since they topped the standings before suffering their first defeat to Real Madrid. It is too early to assume that Girona will be able to finish in the European zone, La Liga has only gone through 9 games, they still have a lot more to go, including facing other strong teams.
I know anything can happen in football, but to achieve their goals they must always consistently maintain their performance. There are still regular clubs that often finish in the European zone that are ready to provide competition for Girona. Clubs such as Atletico Madrid, Real Sociedad, Real Betis and Bilbao will be Girona toughest competitors in fighting for a place in the European Zone.
