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.
Indeed, it is time for Girona to return to its original setting, becoming a mediocre team even though it is still perched in 3rd place in La Liga. what is clear is that Girona did not experience fatigue in the matches they played throughout this competition, because throughout the competition they only participated in two competitions, namely the Copa del Rey and La Liga. It's just that their team's mentality and strength are not sufficient to stay in the top four of the standings. As for Atletico Madrid, I'm not sure if they chose to lose in the Copa del Rey semifinals, because at that time the performance of Diego Simeone's squad was indeed experiencing a decline. Moreover, Atletico had a match scheduled to meet Inter Milan in the Champions League at that time.
In the Atletico Madrid vs Girona meeting, Diego Simeone's team showed very good performance. Girona struggled to be beaten 3-1, a victory for Atletico. In this match, Griezmann showed his capacity as an established and reliable player. Currently, Atletico is at least in a safe position in 4th place in La Liga. As for Girona, they are threatened with dropping their position if Michel does not restore the performance of his team. 7 matches remaining, one match against Barcelona. If Girona suffers 3 defeats until the end of the competition, Atletico can shift their position even with Bilbao. Well, if Michel doesn't want to lose momentum to get one shot at the Champions League competition, he has to improve because the performance of his team is starting to become very unstable.
