Looking at Girona match schedule until the end of the season, there are two important matches that Michel squad must play, namely against Atletico and Barcelona. The other 8 games they could probably win, although I agree that it is difficult because they are not completely stable at the moment. In the first half of the season, Girona was able to beat the two elite La Liga teams, it is possible that Girona will do it again. However, Atletico and Barcelona attempts at revenge have the potential to cause Girona to lose points.
Will Barcelona be able to get ahead of Girona? I think it is possible. I believe right now Barcelona is performing well compared to Girona. And at the same time, Girona has dropped off a lot in terms of performance. Girona has three losses in the last 5 Matches and Barcelona has none. Girona does have some easier matches coming up.
So I think they will be able to improve their performance. but you know, they will also face Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the upcoming future. so there is a chance if Barcelona is consistent enough, Barcelona will be able to get to the second position. and maybe that will be enough for Xavi to finally stay as the coach of Barcelona for longer.
