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.
I think this happens to all clubs when we are approaching The end of every season most clubs are eager to win, therefore giving them the lack of opportunity for them to win and there used to be a lot of pressure coming from the supporters' clubs, fans and even the management team.
Those things creates serious pressures within the squad which doesn't give them the ability to put in their best because they always want to do the most superficial things to win, which doesn't solve problems for them. Lack of Consistency happens during this and you have even the elite clubs working extensively hard to be able to win and that is why you also find situations where.
Bigger clubs lose to smaller ones, even those you least expected to. So as a club you need to work extra mile at this period of time to be able to win matches and take the trophy home sometimes, I might say.
It is usually the lucky one that goes home with the Trophy. However, a club can be lucky if they work hard. From the beginning to the end to make sure that they give more gaps to the other clubs when they are leading.
