the 4-0 victory over getafe successfully put barcelona in second place in the current la liga standings and this is really good. raphinha managed to make 1 goal and 1 assist, he performed extraordinary, i am optimistic about what barcelona will achieve this season, even though they are not able to overtake madrid because the point difference is quite large, but i see barcelona is still a strong team.
while atletico madrid were held to a draw by almeria, atletico madrid failed to maintain the game they had mastered since the start of the match, this made atletico have to settle for remaining in 4th position.
Barcelona is still very strong in terms of team quality, but their problem since the start of the season has been consistency and from what has been shown in their last few matches, it seems that Xavi has still resolved the problems that exist in this team.
With quite impressive performances in the last few matches, the Barcelona players and the Barcelona team as a whole will still continue to compete in the title race with Real Madrid, even though it is difficult, mathematically they still have a chance.
And for Girona's position being shifted in the La Liga standings, I think Girona's surprise has ended and now Barcelona will put pressure on Real Madrid to win the title and I think that is more appropriate.
