With the recent inconsistency and the pressure on Girona in the La Liga table, I think they will not be able to handle the pressure to remain in the top four of La Liga. If Athletico Madrid improves their performance in the league, they can finish in the top four of La Liga.
First of all, Girona performance shocked everyone this season because no one expected to see them where they are now. I know there is an imbalance of form recently I don't think Girona will lose a spot in top four. They have just nine games to round off the game and they are sitting ahead of Athletic Bilbao comfortably with six points and I think it is enough to keep their hopes alive. If Athletico Madrid should improve and take any spot up there, then it should be Bilbao spot that are just one point ahead of them. Some of the top leagues in Europe have taken another dimension this season with some new teams attempting to break a long time record. The same thing is happening in Bundesliga where Leverkusen is trying to overthrown long time domination of Bayern Munich and also in premier league with Arsenal, Liverpool and City locking horn with each other.
I know the six points Girona is leading Athletic Bilbao with are enough for Girona to finish in the top four of La Liga. But their current performance has made them drop a lot of points in a short time, and if they continue to perform like that, Athletico Madrid and Athletic Bilboa will close the gap with Girona in the La Liga table. Girona needs to improve their performance and start winning matches to remain in their third position in the La Liga table.
It's not Girona's 6-point advantage that means their chances of finishing in the top 4 are wide open this season, but because the performance of Athletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao is also inconsistent so they are not that threatening to Girona's position.
I think Girona's decline in performance is quite natural because overall the strength of this team is not very capable this season, but what has happened since the start of the season is a surprise that they have been able to maintain for a long time and all of that is due to factors outside of their influencing strength. chemistry to create slick performance.
And now Girona have returned to their roots, they are showing the performance they should and basically this team is not that strong.
