This season, all the teams that have competed against Girona admit that Girona is a tough opponent. Even though Real Madrid was able to beat Girona in the previous match, Girona really made it difficult for Real Madrid to win. Meanwhile, there are only 3 teams who are able to prevent Girona from getting maximum points in 17 matches and only 1 of them is able to beat Girona.
This is one of the best seasons Girona has had in La Liga. They lead the standings with a 2 point advantage over Real Madrid and 9 points from Barcelona. This is the best way to prove that not all poor teams deserve to be underestimated in a competition, so that in the end Girona's performance deserves to lead the standings.
This means that the only team that has been able to beat Girona this season is only Real Madrid, while the other teams until now have not been able to and have only been able to draw so they share points.
We know Barcelona are a big and tough team but Girona being able to beat them is something of a big surprise especially now adrift of points away from Barcelona which I said it would be difficult to pursue.
It seems that this season will belong to Girona even if it doesn't miss until the end of the year, I don't know if after the half-season break there is no decline we don't know about that yet but I believe Girona can still maintain their performance.
I am really surprised to see how Girona I used to play in a gamble to lose is proven to be a serious La Liga title contender this season. If Girona beats Real Betis in Betis home, then I will say Real Madrid has a long way to go in winning the La Liga title this season.
