Girona FC are out to prove that they have not been spending a lot of time on top of the La Liga table this season on a fluke. In fact, they have proven themselves to be serious title contenders by winning 4-2 away against FC Barcelona on Sunday. The victory allowed them to open up a two-point advantage over Real Madrid, who dropped points earlier this weekend after a draw with Real Betis.
Heading into the weekend, Real Madrid held the top spot but were tied on 38 points with Girona. Los Blancos were favourites to open up a gap this weekend, but they could only come away with a point from their 1-1 draw against Betis.
