The most exciting match of the season in La Liga is set to take place tomorrow when Real Madrid host Girona FC at Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid arguably are the best team in the world with a rich history. The Spanish giants have been doing great this season, and they are currently leading the point table of La Liga.
But Girona FC have been the most surprising team in La Liga this season. Getting promoted to La Liga in 2017, they are now one of the favorites to win the league this season, going way ahead of FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Girona are only two points behind the table topper, Real Madrid, and tomorrow’s match is a massive chance for them to get back on the top.
