Although Girona and Real Madrid both have 48 points, Girona will win the La Liga title based on their current record, as even Real Madrid is aware of their limitations. Girona's next game comes on 21 when they take on Sevilla. Since Sevilla isn't a very good team, I fully expect Girona to work hard and produce excellent results for them so they may get opportunities and unseat Real Madrid at the top of the table. However, I doubt that the remaining teams you listed will encounter is only Barcelona. I'm optimistic about since they put efforts and 41 points of work they may be able to catch up
They have same total points now but it is too soon to think that La Liga title will be decided by extra factors than total points of two competitors. The league is still long enough to see two competitors will complete this season with different total points. Even Girona and Real Madrid have probability to not end this season as first two clubs on the ranking table.
They still have a long journey to go in La Liga and many matches to complete, to take the trophy. Even Barcelona, Atletico Madrid are currently behind with big point differences, they can play more strongly and better in second half of season and can return to the title race in future.
True. Barca is not as powerful as it was some seasons ago and out of nowhere in the last 2 seasons almost every team from LaLiga managed to score at least once against Barca in both home and away game and that didn't happened before. This season so far is not different and we can clearly see Barca shaking against some teams and also conceding quite some goals and we are just half of the season in + in my opinion this current Barca in top a top 3 team in LaLiga so far.
They are in a rebuilding and transitional phase even they won La Liga in the last season. When the transitional phase has yet completed, it is understandable to see their performances are unstable and sometimes are very terrible.
Xavi generally does his good management job and Barcelona must give him fairer treatment as well as must know that their club actually needs more time to return as a giant in La Liga and Champions League. If they lose patience, treat Xavi bad, sack him, they will put their club into another crisis.
That's right, It is at this moment that if Xavi is mistreated and sacked, this club will sink into the abyss. Now if Xavi is sacked then they must use a new coach to finish this season. In that, the club could face bigger problems. There is no way Barcelona can improve if they think of changing the coach after half way through this season. I think Xabi should be given more time to develop his performance this season and overcome the problem. Many supporters of the Barcelona team believe that Xavi can still bring Barcelona back to the top this season.
