As I said in the previous post, although Girona's position is quite safe with a 6-7 point advantage over Bilbao and Atletico Madrid. however, there are still 9 matches remaining, which could possibly destroy Girona's mission or target of finishing in the top four of the La Liga table. We know that Atletico Madrid is experiencing unstable performance. however, that doesn't mean Simeone is unable to improve his team's squad. moreover, Atletico still has one meeting against Girona at the Metropolitano. ATM just needs to improve and appear consistent, so they can finish in the top four of the La Liga table. so, in the remaining 9 matches Atletico still has a chance to qualify for the Champions League.
Apart from that, Girona has a match against Barcelona. Now Barcelona is not too bad, especially after the main goalkeeper has returned to guard Barcelona's goal. if Girona is inconsistent again, that means a drop in ranking could occur. But we agree, at least Girona has provided color to the competition in the 2023-24 season. they performed quite consistently, until they finally experienced a decline in performance. Currently the runner up position is occupied by Barcelona. however, Barcelona is also not very safe in the position they currently occupy. the reason is, Barcelona still has a match against Real Madrid and also against Girona. these two matches, at least one of which must be won. or, one win one draw. but if it were the other way around, maybe Barcelona's position would drop again. Well, at least we still have 9 games left. Let's just enjoy every match presented every week by La Liga.
Girona is not yet in a safe position in the La Liga standings, that's why many of us still doubt them. Barcelona certainly doesn't want to suffer two defeats against Girona in one season, meaning that Barcelona will try their best to make amends for their previous defeat by winning the match against Girona in the remainder of the season.
You are right about Barcelona, their performance has been very positive recently. Barcelona are unbeaten in two different competitions so far (Champions League and La Liga) since losing 3-5 to Villarreal, but Barcelona were still held to draws by Granada and Bilbao. Barcelona is required to win all the matches in the remaining season to maintain its position, so Girona will certainly fall under threat if they have to accept many defeats, including losing to Barcelona.
