This is a formal lead since Real has a game in hand and on average Real clearly scores more than a point per game.
As for the performance, it is impressive, however, among the first 9 teams, Girona has the worst statistics in terms of the number of goals conceded, so the degree of their dominance (the difference between goals scored and goals conceded) is not so great.
It's a shame that Athletic lost to Valencia - I want Barcelona to worry about their place in the top 4

If it's let for me to decide the twist and turn of the Laliga then I for would love to place this Girona team at the top of the league come MAY when the league will be decided. Girona has definitely shown their brilliance and excellent performance and I really love their passion it's almost as if they would repeat same feat Leicester city did in the premier league when they broke all the odds and became champions of England despite the top teams all being present in the league. It would be nice to see some changes prior to the consistent teams that always come out victorious in the Laliga.
