The fierce competition in La Liga is eye-catching, especially the rivalry between Girona and Real Madrid. Although there is only a six-point gap between the two teams at the moment, Girona still have a chance to catch up on the points with the remaining 12 rounds. However, in order to compete for the title, it is not enough to chase six points, they will have to put in more performances.
The history of Girona and Real Madrid shows a certain contradiction. The matchup between the two teams has been particularly awkward this season, with Real Madrid almost crushing Girona, winning home and away with scores of 0:3 and 0:4 respectively. Such a result makes Real Madrid's lead by 6 points actually 65 points.
However, Girona's form this season has been equally impressive. They have shown great quality against other strong teams, sometimes even beating opponents who are considered difficult to beat, such as Atletico Madrid. In addition, Girona can easily win against mid-table teams, such as the 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano in their most recent game.
However, it is regrettable that the performance against Rayo Vallecano showed Girona's contradictions. Although they were able to comfortably beat this mid-table side, they were weak against Real Madrid. This contrast makes Girona face quite a challenge on the road to the title.
Overall, Girona will need to be even better in key moments if they are to win the La Liga title. Although they were excellent in some games, they were a little lacking in the head-to-head clash with Real Madrid. Only by overcoming these difficulties can we hope to surpass Real Madrid and win the title this season.
