However, Girona does have an advantage because they have a longer rest period than Atletico Madrid. I hope they will show the best game they have so that this match will be interesting for us to watch.
The match was over already. Atletico Madrid showed Girona that they are still stronger than Girona. Although Girona could score in the early match, Atletico Madrid could equal the goal and even scored 3 goals. The final result of the match, Atletico Madrid 3-1 Girona. This is not good for Girona, Atletico Madrid has the chance to overtake them now. The point gap is only 4 points, I think Atletico Madrid still has enough time to do it because there are still 7 remaining matches.
Currently, Atletico Madrid is in a highly motivated condition. Because they managed to win in the first leg of the UCL too, and also, it seems that currently, Atletico Madrid's performance has improved quite a bit compared to a few weeks ago. Even though it was doubtful, it turns out that Atletico Madrid was able to turn things around in this match.
To be honest, Girona is not as impressive as it used to be at the start of the season. In fact, there were several matches that were often missed and ended in draws or losses. Especially against Atletico Madrid this time, they were quite careless in several conditions. In fact, they actually played quite well and also matched Atletico Madrid's match. However, in several aspects, especially their attacks, they were not accurate and sharp enough to beat Atletico Madrid's goal. Luckily, Girona is currently still in 3rd position.
