I think Real Madrid will continue leading La Liga and Barcelona to be the second in the table from now on. Girona are dropping faster than I thought and Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao to book the third and fourth places. I start to doubt about Girona ability to take a ticket for UEFA Champions League since the beginning of this year, 2024, and they are proving it round after round. Meanwhile, Barcelona knocked Atletico Madrid in their home by three goals which is a very bad results for Simeone..
For this season, maybe Barcelona is in second place, but for the next season, no one knows because La Liga always presents competitive matches, especially for other elite La Liga clubs such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid does have the most titles in the league, but that doesn't mean that Real Madrid can continue to lead the league. If clubs like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid carry out changes and improve their performance, then the three clubs have equal performance, making the competition even fiercer. Real Madrid this season is not is experiencing problems regarding its performance in the league because Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are not performing as consistently as Real Madrid as well as Girona which is currently experiencing a decline, making it easier for Real Madrid to sit comfortably at the top of the standings.
Even though Girona has experienced a decline, to compete for Champions League tickets they can still compete to keep those tickets. Michel's troops will not allow continuous defeats to occur which causes Girona to lose their place in the top 4, while Atletico Madrid itself failed to take advantage of its opportunity today and was defeated by Barcelona, so I'm not sure Atletico Madrid can occupy the Champions League zone if they continue to widen the gap, while Atletico Madrid has lost a lot of points, just like Girona, so it could be said that their performance is not much different at the moment.
Yes, I also predict that this season Barcelona will likely find it difficult to displace Madrid from the top of the standings because the difference of 8 goals is certainly very large and of course it will definitely be difficult to surpass Madrid's points unless there is a miracle.
Yes, for the next season in Laliga, of course no one will know and this season we also don't think that Girona will perform well and be able to sit at the top of the standings, even if only temporarily because last season Girona was ranked 10th and the achievements that Girona has achieved at this time in Laliga is a good achievement because you can compete with elite clubs.
Girona's performance at the end of this season is very unfortunate because it declined and ultimately they didn't consistently win, but I also predict that Girona could potentially qualify for the Champions League because Atletico Madrid's defeat by Barcelona makes us believe that Atletico Madrid's performance recently has declined, which of course is in this case. It definitely makes Michel enthusiastic about going all out to make Girona perform as well as possible in order to successfully qualify for the Champions League and also the point difference between Girona and Atletico Madrid and Bilbao is certainly quite large so in my opinion Girona has great potential to be able to qualify for the Champions League.
In the next match, Girona will face Betis, of course this is not an easy match for Girona. Of course, in this match, Girona will have to fight hard, but I am sure that Girona will win in this match.
