Last weekend, the “white-reds” secured victories in two consecutive matches in the Spanish championship for the first time since late January. First, Girona defeated Cadiz 4-1 at home, and then the Girona team earned three points away against Las Palmas with a score of 2-0. After 33 rounds played, Girona sits in third place in the league table with 71 points. They are only two points behind second-placed Barcelona. However, they lag behind the leader, Real Madrid, by a significant margin of 11 points. It’s worth noting that Girona has remained unbeaten in 12 consecutive home matches in the championship, recording 10 wins and 2 draws during this period.
The ‘Blaugranas’ hosted Valencia at their home ground in the last round and secured a hard-fought victory with a score of 4-2. Breaking through the visitors’ defense proved challenging for Barcelona, and they managed to overcome Valencia’s resistance largely after the guests received a red card. Barcelona has accumulated 73 points from 33 matches, which is 11 points less than Real Madrid. It’s also worth noting that Barcelona had gone undefeated for a long period, but recently suffered two significant setbacks – defeats to PSG in the Champions League and Real Madrid in El Cl?sico.
