Girona, which is putting pressure on Atletico Madrid to occupy 3rd place because Barcelona is definitely also fighting to occupy that position because Barcelona seem to be losing grounds on points with Real Madrid and Girona with its current performance, so at least Barcelona will fight for position 2 or 3.
Girona is only 2 this season in La Liga. Their projected progress is very visible. If they are able to perform well until the end of the season it is extraordinary. But there is a little doubt, I think they are still quite difficult to compete with Real Madrid. In addition, this season break, I think there will be many teams that improve the condition of the team with player transfers.
In terms of players, Girona contains experienced players. They have a good combination of young and old. They are also in a good mental state, because they always get positive results. But maybe they are not stable enough until the end of the season. Although they do not have many matches, because they are focused on La Liga.
They could do that for themselves, what I don't like it the fact that they won't be able to play the Champions League next even if they win the league or qualify amongst the first four clubs in La Liga. Ain't that crazy?
They're literally in no Competition with Real Madrid honestly, Real Madrid be doing theirs. So far this season it also seems like Real Madrid and other big clubs have been the clube chasing Girona at the top. Lovely to see both Toni Kroos and Jude Bellingham leading the highest goals and assist in La Liga. They're doing well to make sure they win the La Liga title.
Girona's understanding makes me happy, they fight for themselves and play like a team should.
I think now that Girona has fallen behind Real Madrid, they cannot catch up to them. Real Madrid are currently in good form and catching up to them is going to be very tough. They are going to have to beat Real Madrid in their Head to head match in February as well. Girona had that consistency keeping them in first place but that draw probably cost them the Championship of Spain.
I always loved an underdog run. But Real Madrid was too good for them. But if they can keep up the previous consistency and not drop points, they probably can come back. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid's situation aren't that good either, sitting at 3rd and 4th place respectively. I don't see them taking Girona's place. It kinda feels good to see a small team from La Liga actually achieving something this season.
