As people have said before, Girona will not last long to compete with Real Madrid in the race for the league title because the quality of Real Madrid and Girona's players is very different, making the competition quite tough for Girona to reach the end. Now Girona's opponent is no longer Real Madrid at the top of the standings but Barcelona is in the race for the runner up position because Barcelona is slowly starting to improve and return to its positive trend even though it has not performed optimally at least Barcelona has not experienced defeat in its last 5 matches which makes the point difference with Girona closer and Barcelona managed to take advantage of opportunities when Girona lost points in his last few matches.
This have not yet faced a storm of injuries within the team and I am quite sure that when several key players suffer injuries it will again affect Girona's performance. The difference in quality and depth of their squads is different enough to mean that the competition will not last until the end of the season. Girona played well at the start of the season before suffering consecutive defeats and now other teams see Girona's weaknesses as a step to break their dominance. Real Madrid clearly has different qualities in La Liga because they have great players and are so mature.
Now the competition between Girona and Barcelona is increasingly felt where the difference in points between the two is getting closer and if Girona loses again, Barcelona will chase them. The next few games won't be too difficult because Girona will face much easier teams and they should be able to get another win.
Girona must be careful when facing the end of the season because they are not used to competing until the end. At least securing the runner up position and that is much better. Girona is the difference this season in La Liga because it is not easy to be a candidate in the hunt for the title. It all depends on how clever Michel is at rotating his players to maintain stable performance until the end of the season. Maybe they should focus on widening the points gap from Barcelona and lowering their expectations of catching Real Madrid position.
Girona has remaining matches with lower level clubs and that could be an advantage to continue to get 3 points. Mallorca, Osasuna and Getafe are tickets worth fighting for with 3 points.
