It's ironic for Barcelona and Girona because they failed to secure full points in last night's match. Even though it is clear that they have the opportunity to shorten the difference in points from Real Madrid, who drew against Valencia. I think these two Catalan clubs are unable to compete with Real Madrid to be more fierce in the race for the La Liga title. Barcelon drew against Bilbao and Girona lost against Mallorca, honestly I didn't expect the result to be like that.
I missed several La Liga matches, especially Barcelona and Girona. referring to match highlights, data and statistics, Barcelona controlled the game with 60% ball possession. Barcelona was slightly ahead in terms of opportunities with one big chance out of 8 total shots, two shots on target. unfortunately, Xavi Hernandez's squad was unable to break into the home team's goal. referring to the performance of the players, especially the front line players, they did not play at their best. for Barcelona defenders, only Araujo doesn't perform very well. the rest, play as it should. in this match, apart from not getting full points, Barcelona was disadvantaged by the injuries to De Jong and Pedri. well, I haven't looked for information regarding the development of these two Barcelona mainstay players. I hope that De Jong and Perdri only need a short recovery time. with this result, Barcelona and Bilbao must share the same points. well, as you said. It would be a shame if Barcelona could get full points, at least Barcelona would reduce the gap in points from Real Madrid.
Likewise with Girona, Michel's squad was unable to produce full points when they visited Mallorca. in fact, Girona lost 1-0 to the home team. even though, these two teams have a distance based on their ranking on the standings board. in the end, Girona was unable to reduce the difference in points from Real Madrid, who remained at the top of the La Liga standings.
