Yes I also think that Girona will surely drop points when they perform against teams like Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. When Girona lose points in these three matches, they will be slightly lower in the points table as Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid in those matches will gain full points and move up. But if Girona don't drop points against Barcelona and Real Madrid, they will undoubtedly be fighting for the La Liga title with Real Madrid and Barcelona at the end of the season. Since they have been doing well since the start and they have maintained their consistency, they can be relied on not to give up points so easily against Barcelona and Real Madrid. It would be a surprise if any team outside of Real Madrid and Barcelona win the La Liga title.
@Patrol69 I too don’t think that Girona will win the La Liga title despite their impressive start to the season because they don’t have a rich diversified squad like Real Madrid or Barcelona. Also their story reminds me of Leicester winning the league title out of the blue so while it’s difficult to imagine this happening but we can’t actually rule it out too even though I don’t personally believe it can happen.
In fact, this is where Girona wants to show us all that not always a team capable of leading the top of the standings must be filled with expensive players studded with stars. You may have missed a lot of things this season, if you look at Girona's track record then top clubs should be wary of the aggression carried out by Michel and his troops. Even though Girona is not filled with expensive players, please pay attention to their style of play which prioritizes ball control. Because when you control the ball the game can be controlled. Girona also occupies third place after Madrid and Barcelona. According to
Goal.com 55.7% is an extraordinary result because Girona was able to score 2.41 goals per match and only needed 18 months.
Even if Girona at the end of the La Liga season does not occupy first place, at least what they have shown this season could be more dangerous next season. Don't forget that behind Girona there is the intervention of the
City Football Group and this will be a surprising future investment.
In April 2017, after a near three-year pause in its expansion, City Football Group announced the Uruguayan second-tier side Club Atletico Torque,[12] who would later be renamed Montevideo City Torque.[13] Several months later, Torque would be followed in by Spanish second division club Girona,[14] a club with ownership links to incumbent Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.
