Real Madrid was lucky enoght to be in fight for the tittle against Girona and not against the big teams like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, but now they are gonna need to save players for the Champions League matches against Manchester CIty which is way more important than the domestic games right now. Lets see how much points they drop in this run.
Girona are not competing for the title with Real Madrid, that has been said by Míchel himself based on what I read on the internet. Indeed, Girona had been the best competitor for Real Madrid this season, especially in the first half of the season, but entering the second half their performance dropped and now everything is different.
The gap between Girona and Real Madrid has become 10 points after Girona lost to Getafe, and Girona is even likely to lose its position in second place if Barcelona wins today against Atletico Madrid. I know that Real Madrid has been the favorite for the title since the start of the season, their move is quite easy considering that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have not been able to compete well this season.
