As we can see Girona took advantage of the momentum well. So Girona steps in La Liga are very well calculated. They know that no club can interfere in Real Madrid and Barcelona eternal rivalry in La Liga so what Girona can do is take advantage of the situation. Girona could lose to both clubs but the probability with the other club is actually higher. So this gives Girona a breath of fresh air sacrificing matches against Barcelona and Madrid but on the other hand they are fighting for big opportunities with the remaining clubs. For me, Girona strategy has been quite effective so far, with the result of 13 matches and one loss being a big achievement.
The issue is not the Real Madrid or Barcelona games for them, they are doing as well as they could without those games, but when it comes down to a situation where you are going to end up with a win over everyone else and win the title if that was possible. The problem for them is the fact that they are going to eventually lose to other teams too, I do not expect Girona to end up staying at the top, beating everyone else, it is not just 2-3 clubs that can beat them, other teams could beat them too, even the lowest ranked team could end up playing a good team on a bad Girona day and beat them.
Girona is lucky to be there, but I am sure that they are not going to end up in the top 2, they are going to go lower, it is just matter of time. I guess that we are not going to end up with a deal where it is going to be a difficult period for them. Hopefully, we are going to end up with a situation that will see the difference between these two situations for them.
Not only do you expect Girona to slip from the top, I personally also expect it because I am a Barcelona fan. I hope Barcelona can beat Girona in the match that will bring them together in the next two weeks. This week it is also doubtful that Girona will win against Bilbao, but Girona, who is playing at home, has a good probability.
However, we know that Girona is really working hard to maintain its performance in 13 matches. They are doing very well, better than Real Madrid and many other teams. Their defense is not very strong, but this team has something that is difficult to beat easily, namely team cohesion and self-confidence. I hope Bilbao wins the match against Girona, for me it is important.
