By only being superior on goal difference, Girona still has a chance to overtake Real Madrid because the two teams can be said to be in the same condition, although doubts about Girona still exist and that is normal considering they are not a team that usually fights for the title.
The draw that Girona got against Betis was also the same result that Real Madrid got when facing Betis, so it can be said that Betis is indeed a strong team when playing at home.
However, the next match after the New Year holiday will be a match where Girona can face defeat because Atletico Madrid will see this match as an opportunity to get 3 points.
This season's journey is still quite long and with equal points it is still possible for anything to happen.
Girona was previously not at the top but they made a surprise and now with what is happening, no one doubts Girona anymore, they have quite capable strength, but what is still questionable is the extent to which they are able to maintain the consistency of their best game as they look towards the journey of this season. which is still very long, if they are able to maintain this then their percentage of being able to make a surprise at the end of the season is very large.
The match against Atletico Madrid will certainly be very fierce, but in my opinion Girona still has a chance to win because Atletico Madrid's performance is unstable and that is inversely proportional to Girona's current condition, which is in its best performance.
