Real Madrid may find it increasingly difficult to win the match against Alaves. They ended the first half without a goal and now Real Madrid will only continue the game with 10 players after the referee gave Nacho a red card. Alaves has the possibility to win points in this match, at least a draw makes sense to aim for even though a win would be more perfect.
Yes, we can say that Real Madrid is experiencing difficulties. especially after a red card, the difficulties they face are even higher. So it became increasingly difficult for them to try to attack and break Alaves' goal. It would be very lucky if Real Madrid could finally get their first goal at the end of the match... otherwise, they would just draw...
In terms of the quality of players, the Girona team for a fact can't match the players in Real Madrid, Barcelona or even Atletico Madrid but how they've managed to deliver the kind of impressive performance that's left them in the second position of the Spanish La Liga table after playing 18 matches is still a surprise to many football fans across the globe.
Exactly. The quality of Girona's players is actually not comparable to that of Real Madrid and other top clubs in La Liga. We also couldn't find any stat players there. They are even just ordinary players. However, it is truly amazing when the coach can guide and bring Girona this far, with amazing results and being able to compete with the top clubs in La Liga.
