The recent form of Girona might not be as strong as earlier in the season. Maybe they are experiencing fatigue physically and mentally due to their lack of squad depth and constant pressure from Real Madrid. The race for the top positions in the league is often unpredictable, and Girona may still has the opportunity to regain momentum and secure a high finish.

Finishing ahead of traditional powerhouses like Atlético Madrid and clinching a UEFA Champions League (UCL) spot would indeed be a remarkable achievement for Girona. Not only would it demonstrate their competitiveness on the domestic stage, but it would also elevate their status on the European scene. If Girona were to secure a UCL spot under such circumstances, it could potentially fuel discussions about the need for reforms in European football competitions. The inclusion of a smaller club like Girona in the UCL could be seen as evidence that the current format is inclusive enough and that there is room for clubs outside the traditional European powerhouses.
