What's happening to Girona is not new to the eyes, it is also similar to what happened to arsenal last season and I don't think anybody should be blamed for it, everything has to do with the mentality and ability of the players and coaching staff. For me I think they have had an amazing season since last year taking the lead for a long period of time putting both Barca and real Madrid and even athletico Madrid on their feet until they lost their place to real Madrid who have now extended their lead on the table.
Not only that, there were similarities where Girona would become Leicester in 2016, where they won the league by completely dominating for a season. But it seems that this assumption is not proven by Girona's declining performance and they are experiencing a season full of obstacles. We know that it is not easy to maintain the top position with so much pressure in every match, especially since teams full of history like Real Madrid or Barcelona are always lurking from behind.
In the end, Girona must be satisfied with their current condition and at least they are still fighting for a place in 2nd place in the standings to close this season and of course they will not be alone because Barcelona has also started to move and is only 2 points away. I think this will be a fierce battle between two Catalan teams and this is something we rarely see.
