and for a while now they have been competing with Girona on the second position but right now they have an advantage over Girona but if Girona win there next match they will still become a challenge to Barcelona, so perhaps the competition among them is making them to become more consistent and more focus.
If Girona's poor form continues due to instability until the end of the season, it is possible that Girona could drop back to 4th place. Currently La Liga has 9 games left and Girona has a 6-point gap with Atlhetic Club. It could even be thrown to number 5 because Atlhetic and Atlhetico Madrid are only 1 point apart. But if Girona wants to enter the UCL Zone then he must be able to stay at least at number 4 until the end of the season.
Well, Girona's task for the rest of the season is clearly only to focus more on maintaining its position in the top four, being a team that is in third or fourth position does not matter, because the most important thing for Girona is to get a Champion League ticket. Although indeed, although Girona is still said to have a good point capital that is safe enough to stay in the top four but still, Girona still has to stay focused and consistent and keep playing well in every match that will be played next. If Girona can do that well then yes, ofcourse Girona will succeed in maintaining its position in the top four, and of course the bad consideration is about failing to finish in the top four.
I strongly believe that the Girona coach and his players have achieved their objective this season. The season is already a big success for them. A team like Girona main focus is to survive relegation and stay up in the top division. Qualifying for the Champions league is an added bonus for the team. Even if at the end of the season Girona qualify for the Europa league it's still a big season for them. But one thing I know that this season will do for Girona is to make them start to dream big and make them want to become more ambitious. They can start to have this believe that truly they can be among the elite teams in the league and challenge for trophies.
