Barcelona won with a strong play and left no room for surprises. Even though their claim to the championship ended a long time ago, they show that they will not give up second place. When Xavi leaves, he wants to at least finish 2nd in the league. It was also interesting that Barca scored 4 goals today and Lewandowski didn't score. Fermin Lopez was finally able to score another goal. Lamine Yamal didn't take time today.
Well at least after all this time they are struggling with conditions that are not very good finally they can reach second place and managed to shift Girona with a one point gap. But it is only temporary for now because looking at the current situation even though Barcelona now occupies second place but still it is not too threatening if in the end Girona is able to get 3 points in the match they will do in 2 days.
Fortunately, Girona's current condition, which is still not very good, certainly provides a slightly greater hope for Barcelona because seeing from what is happening now Girona seems to be starting to falter and begin to be broken, which makes Barcelona's hopes of maintaining second place still exist because by hoping Girona loses again, they can remain in that position.
It's just that in this case I don't think it will be easy. Girona are indeed a club that seems ordinary but they will definitely strive to restore their position because it would be a shame if from the beginning of the season they were extraordinary but towards the end of the season they returned to after their factory with a performance that seemed ordinary.
The last 3 games have not been very good and against Rayo they should at least be able to get 3 points if indeed Girona want to put themselves as an outstanding club this season.
