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.

I would like to add, last season Sevilla also did the same thing, yes they were able to compete closely at first, but when they entered the second half towards the end of the season, they also experienced a very deep decline which ultimately made them have to settle for 4th place in the standings. at the end of the season. This is something that happens repeatedly in La Liga, and in the end no one can compete with the dominance of the 3 teams that are already regulars at the top of the rankings.
But still, what Girona has done this season is extraordinary, yes they have shown something beyond our predictions, they can even survive this far even though they are in a not better position now. I think this is normal because they are not a team that has that strong of a mentality.

That's a great observation, pusaka. I think you're right about that and to be honest we really didn't expect Girona to be that good this season, in fact they were still in the top four until week 29. La Liga has 9 games left in the season, so Girona will probably fight as hard as possible to finish this season with his best achievements.

Girona is still very likely to end this season in the Champions League zone as long as they are able to win a few more matches in the remaining season. There were some tough matches, while there were also some easy matches for them. But regarding the title, that is no longer a goal that Girona needs to achieve since Real Madrid leads the standings by a lot of points.
