The La Liga table has gone completely crazy: five points can determine everything.

In Spanish football, a unique tournament situation has arisen. The density of the table has reached a critical level, turning the last few rounds into a real battle for every point. “Girona”, which is in the relegation zone, could rise to a position where it can qualify for the European competitions. Meanwhile, “Real Sociedad”, which is in 8th place and still has a chance to qualify for the European League, could be relegated to the Segunda División. There’s only a five-point difference between these two teams, and three matches remain before the final whistle blows. Twelve teams are currently fighting to stay in the Primera División. “Sociedad”, “Atletico”, “Valencia” and “Sevilla” are in the risk zone. Every game now counts as a final match, and the tournament’s odds work against the favorites.

Today, Arsen Wijnaldum’s team will go on a difficult away trip to Catalonia. For the hosts, this is a real chance to change the balance of power completely. A win would allow “Girona” to climb from 19th place to a more secure position in the table. In that case, the gap between “Girona” and the Basque club would be reduced to two points. The stakes have become extremely high for all participants in this competition.
