I am so disappointed in them, they started so well and raised all our hopes for them to challenge for the title and see a different team win the league other than Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. They had our support even though we were not certain about them winning anything. I just hope they don’t fall off the spot of making it to the champions league because they have really tried their best, they are now just a point ahead of Barcelona and that was because Barcelona failed to win yesterday’s match else they would be ahead of Girona by now.
Girona have been dropping too many points lately they seem to have lost their balance and are struggling to get things right as they used to but it’s a good thing for Real Madrid as they are presented with the opportunity to extend their lead and hope to win the league this season again.
Girona journey this season in La Liga has attracted a lot of attention, their wins have kept them at the top of the standings for some time. The first half of the season was the peak of Girona best performance this season, and they were competing closely with Real Madrid to be at the top every week. Unfortunately, Girona momentum in leading the top of the standings only lasted for a moment, because Real Madrid appeared more consistent in collecting points. But Michel squad should be grateful, because they are still in the top four of the standings even though they are starting to lose balance.
In the last five matches, Girona has only been able to secure full points once, which in my opinion is their worst period so far. There are fewer matches remaining and the season is coming to an end, Girona must be able to rise to be able to secure the runnerup position as well as secure a ticket to the Champions League. La Liga has become more competitive because Girona is able to compete in the top four, failing to win the trophy is not a disappointment, because appearing in the Champions League is also a matter of great pride for Girona.
Girona who started their Spanish La Liga campaign on a very good note and was even topping the league standings for a long time now seems like a team who's not strong to compete for the Spanish league title and considering their performance against Mallorca who's currently sitting in the 15th position of the league table yesterday, it's obvious that Girona aren't a strike contender for the league title again if you ask me. On Saturday, Real Madrid failed to beat Valencia in a game that ended in one of the most dramatic fashions in the history of Spanish football and that result gave Girona the chance of reducing their points difference behind league leaders Real Madrid to just four points but surprisingly failed to even get a point at Mallorca yesterday. The Spanish La Liga title chase I think isn't as competitive as it was as at the start of the season again and that is why I don't think there's any team that can stop Real Madrid from winning the league title this season including Girona and Barcelona.
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.
As in betting, it is certain that bettors will favor Barcelona and Girona to win and it seems like it will be a nightmare for bettors because their predictions are wrong. This result makes Real Madrid even more comfortable because even though the controversial draw against Valencia yesterday was enough to save them from being chased by these two teams. Well, I hope these three teams can still compete and even though it is difficult they have to make Real Madrid start to be a little alert.
This round was a nightmare for bettors, especially for those who not only bet on the victory of Real Madrid and Girona, but added these outcomes to multi-bets in order to increase the final odds.
As for the results of the round, it again turned out to be in favor of Real: the distance from the pursuers did not change, but there was one less game until the end of the tournament. Although it seems that nothing has changed after this round, in fact Real Madrid have increased their lead.
The results of the Spanish La Liga games involving the top three teams in the league over the weekend was absolutely not what majority of people has earlier predicted and that I think will make many who staked their bets in those games to lose their money. In the Real Madrid game at Valencia on Saturday, many people including bookmakers were backing the league leaders to win that particular game but surprisingly, is ended in a draw. Girona was also expected by many to either win against Mallorca or at least get a draw but they failed to even get a goal in that game and lost with a 1:0 scoreline. Barcelona also failed to find the back of the best against Athletic Bilbao yesterday as well. Football is one game that can give you the most unexpected results sometimes and that's one of the beauties of the round leather game
