Girona's most recent La Liga season finale was at home to Alaves, beating them 3-0 to regain top spot in the league. This season, Girona has performed well, achieving a team-best 41 points in their first 16 games, becoming a dark horse in La Liga and even in the entire top five leagues.
In the 23rd minute, Doffbick broke the deadlock with a header and gave his team the lead. Then Boto swept away a shot and a penalty to extend the score to 3-0. After the game, the Girona players celebrated on the pitch and the fans saluted them with loud applause, as if they had won the championship.
At present, Girona has overtaken Real Madrid by two points and is at the top of La Liga, which is not easy for a team in the middle and lower reaches.
Although Girona are nowhere near as strong as Real Madrid, they have been exceptionally consistent in La Liga, winning three games in a row, including an away win over Barcelona, and are unbeaten in nine games. Girona are now playing with more and more confidence, and if they can win the championship, it will create a feat in the history of the team.
Girona's standout performances have been surprising, especially at the start of the season, and few are expected to be title contenders. Now, they are ahead of Real Madrid, which has far exceeded all expectations.
Some people may think that it is the decline of Real Madrid and Barcelona that gives Girona a chance to compete for the title, but in any case, Girona's performance is undeniable. Girona is able to get ahead of these giants perhaps because they are very strong. They may really have what it takes to win the championship!
