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.
Barcelona's big win over Getafe cannot yet be a benchmark that Barcelona has returned to a consistent path, of course there are still several things that Xavi needs to fix and I'm not sure he can catch Real Madrid. However, victory after victory is very important for Barcelona now to raise their confidence when they face Napoli in the second leg of the UCL league later.
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.
Barcelona in second place doesn't look like it will last long because Girona hasn't played a match against Rayo. I think Girona will work hard in this match to get good results, considering that in the last few matches Girona has had bad results, of course in this match they want to end their negative trend by beating Rayo in this match so that Girona overtakes Barcelona in second place .
