Girona vs Athletic Bilbao (2-3) - Real Madrid keeps getting away!

By Speed Lover | sports_related | 20 Feb 2024


Yesterday Girona played against Athletic Bilbao. The visitant arrived to this match with a lost in their last game. They had the advantage that Real Madrid, the other LaLiga contender, equalled 1-1 against Rayo Vallecano, which meant that Girona could be able to reduce the point's difference against the leader if they won the match.

Unfortunately, Girona lost, and this means that even though Real Madrid equalled, they still enlarged the difference with Girona. The players who scored goal were Bereneguer (2', 56') and Iñaki Williams (60') for Athletic and Tsygankov (49') Eric García (75').

In this match we saw a different Girona, with an eager attack who wanted to score at every chance they had, and a very poor defense and midfield, that made a lot of huge mistakes that resulted in the 3 goals Athletic scored. It could have been an easier match for the local team, if they didn't miss all the opportunities they had during the first half of the game.

At this moment, LaLiga stands are the following: 1. Real Madrid (62 pts) 2. Girona (56 pts) 3. Barcelona (54 pts) 4. Atletico de Madrid (51 pts).

As a result, Barcelona still has chances to get the second place and they can still win the league. The same for Girona, which would be much better if they didn't lose the last match. Maybe their lack of experience is what it's getting on their way to win this league. Real Madrid are solitary leaders and they have a huge opportunity to win this important title, that was taken away from them, last year by Barcelona. Atletico de Madrid still has chances, but it's very unlikely to happen that they will win the league, mostly because they are very irregular.

The next matches for this 4 league contenders are:

Barcelona vs Getafe

Atletico de Madrid vs Almería

Real Madrid vs Sevilla

Girona vs Rayo Vallecano

There's no doubt that next weekend will have some thrilling matches, that will change a lot the positions in LaLiga. Who do you think that will win the tournament this season? Tell me in the comments.
