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.
Girona lost to Mallorca who was in 15th place in the league, while attempting to close the points difference with Real Madrid. Girona played poorly in the first half. After losing 1-0 at the half, they began to play better in the second half to win the match. However, because Mallorca played defensively after taken the lead, Girona was unable to equalize and win the match. It surprised me that Girona lost to a fifteenth place. Even though Girona are currently in second place, their play has recently seemed so weak to me. If they can't win the league, at least they should hold onto second place until the end of the season. Because being one point ahead of Barcelona, their position is not safe.
You're right, many bettors will be very disappointed with Real Madrid's result against Valencia because they selected Real Madrid as the favorite team to win. Although the game didn't go as we expected, in my opinion, Real Madrid would have won, if wasn't for Carvajal's error to concede two goals in the first half, because they dominated the game, but the victory wasn't on their side.
