This league would have been boring and one sided if Girona were not there. Girona has introduced some new approaches towards the la liga. Influencing it's gameplay in the future. Real Madrid is a world class team and it won't be much if we call it a level ahead of every teams including Girona.
With more than half of the league through at 22 matches each, Girona and Real have lost only once and have a point difference of 2. While rest of the teams are further 10 points down. In such scenario, the game between Girona and Real Madrid at 10th of February is going to be an epic in every sense.
Girona are still very close to Real, after 22 rounds this is an excellent result. But today they face another difficult test against Sociedad, for Girona this is a very difficult opponent, but they are a tough nut to crack for any team. It is very important for Girona to continue to stick with Real, if they lose points today and Real's lead increases, it could reduce the faith and motivation in the team.
