In accordance with my predictions, Girona will have difficulty beating Atletico Madrid. I think other teams have studied and know the weaknesses of Girona's tactics so you can see Girona having difficulty winning in the last few matches. I think that is the minus of the underdog team. When they appear surprising, other teams will try to find their weaknesses. And when their weaknesses are exposed, it will be very difficult for them to change tactics because they don't have enough players to rotate. It's not like big teams can change game tactics and put players who suit different tactics.
It's difficult to maintain consistency, especially at the end of the season because everyone won't play optimally to get three points and Atletico did it too. This match was a perfect reflection of Girona's season. Good start, but lost momentum after that. However, for me to continue to perform optimally until now, to still be able to stay in the top four is an extraordinary achievement for Girona. Losing to Atletico Madrid was normal because Atletico Madrid played very effectively and Girona controlled the game but were unable to score.
This year or season is very interesting because in all leagues there are dark horse teams, and if these dark horse teams remain in the top 4 positions until the end of the season, then this will be unique and full of surprises for the Champions League next season. Currently the dark horses in each league, Stade Brest (League One), Girona (Laliga), Bologna (Serie A), Aston Villa (EPL), and Stuttgart (Bundesliga).
