Basically in La Liga for them this normal state of affairs, perhaps only with the exception that they do not have to fight for a place in the Champions League, but it is not so often that teams like Girona appear that rise above Atletico.
For Atletico today, victory is more important, so I think that Girona is unlikely to win today, especially since there are losses, Tsigankov will miss the game due to injury, and even in case of defeat, Girona will be 4 points ahead of Atletico in the table, which is very acceptable, but for Atletico a draw is not the best result, because Bilbao can beat them on goal difference, they will play with Villarreal, also a difficult opponent.

I thought the same about the Girona game and Atletico Madrid really finished them off by 3-1.
Actually Girona scored a very early goal to get ahead but this was still not enough to stop Atletico Madrid. Griezmann played a really important role in the win by scoring two goals as well. He is still a very crucial player for this team without doubt.I don't expect Villarreal to be a huge problem for Athletic Bilbao honestly. Athletic Bilbao already won away by 3-2 before. I expect an even more convincing win this time. The players must be very happy and motivated after winning the Copa del Rey title.
Girona one way or the other losing that firm grip and touch of the game they had at the start of the season, could it be fatigued or issues from the dressing room? Anyways, this has got to be them best season and they have given all that they can to make sure that they come and get to this level.
Atletico Madrid would rather lose a final than not qualify for the Champions League Competition for next season, this win again Girona showed strength when I felt otherwise. Greezman no doubt is a top lad, I had a good look at him during the Fifa World Cup Competition won by France. He might not be in the best if form but he got his head locked into the game.
As per Villarreal and Bilbao, I don't think I have anything to say. Bilbao are still considered favorites to win but I'm rooting for a draw after a stressful cup win against Mallorca.
