A very reasonable scenario and I agree overall with your statement, that is the best way to stay in the top four of the standings amidst the dominance of Madrid, Barcelona and ATM. I'm trying to look at Girona match schedule in the next five weeks, Girona will face Almeria, Celta Vigo, Osasuna, Rayo Vallecano and Bilbao. In my view, Girona can still stay in the top four of the standings if their opponents are like that.

But we haven't seen Girona consistency throughout the season, and certainly didn't pay much attention to them before. What is clear is that Girona deserves to be the dark horse in La Liga this season, although personally I still have a little doubt that they can finish in the UCL zone.

If we talk only based on assumptions, it could happen as you say. However, in practice, every match Girona will play does not guarantee a smooth win in the 5 weeks they will play. Almeria, Celta Vigo, Osasuna, Rayo Vallecano and Bilbao, in fact they also play the same eleven players as Girona. which means, every team that will compete with Girona will provide resistance, especially since Girona is not a team that has star-studded players.

maybe for the matches against Almeria and Celta Vigo, Girona could easily beat them. But you also need to remember, Celta Vigo is sometimes able to provide fierce resistance, such as during the match between Celta Vigo and Barcelona. Even though Barca won in the end, Celta Vigo put up resistance by scoring two goals. Apart from that, Rayo Vallecano and Bilbao cannot be underestimated. Even though their performance is not very stable, they definitely have the opportunity to overthrow Girona. which in essence, we didn't know before this match was held. So far I don't want to speculate too much. Moreover, I rarely watch their matches. For the time being, I just assume that the good winds are on Girona's side in the 9 matches they played despite losing to Madrid, but if this team wins and has good progress, we will know every time Girona plays match after match, at least in the first half of the season.
