Barcelona is currently facing a major threat to its lead in the La Liga standings, with Girona stepping up their game and making it look like a distant memory.

The Catalan giants have been cruising along at the top of the table for much of this season, but Girona has suddenly shown that they can be just as dangerous as Barcelona when they want to be.

In fact, Girona has already won more matches than Barcelona in the league so far this season, and they are only two points behind the leaders.

This is a big deal because Barcelona has always been considered the dominant force in Spanish football, and losing such a key player could potentially cause serious damage to their reputation.

However, it seems that Girona has taken on a new lease of life under new manager Pedro Caixinha, who has injected some much-needed creativity into their team.

They have also managed to bring in some high-quality players from abroad, which has helped them to improve their performance on the pitch.

Despite this, Barcelona still have the upper hand in terms of talent and resources, but Girona's recent form suggests that they could pose a real challenge to their dominance in the league.

It will be interesting to see how things develop over the coming weeks and months, as both teams will continue to push each other hard for supremacy in the league.
