It's not a big deal for us but for Girona it's new and big as well. The title decider is mostly between us and barca and sometimes even atletico comes and wins This time it's just between us and Girona Barca has fallen bad But atletico is a surprise they have played exceptionally well and still dropped points on occasions where they shouldn't have.

Sorry but he's a fellow Brazilian. It's normal for a young Brazilian to look up Brazilians that have made it in Europe currently, he mentioned Brazilians of past gens & now the current generation. Vini & many were having Neymar as idol while being on the same team, same for Rodrygo. There were many Brazilians who had "idols", i.e. examples to follow who are just few years older. Rodrygo & Vini joining Real Madrid directly has made many young Brazilians dream of Real Madrid, look at Endrick, he went to RM cause he sees a path to the top of football.
I like listening to Ale Moreno. He is always on point. The way he articulates things we are thinking so beautifully is very impressive

With all due respect to Savio, Ronaldo Nazario was the absolute complete package of player. Not just a “scorer” he had pace, strength, power, technique, AND scoring ability. You might need to stack the talent of 10 Rodrygos on top of each other to try and come close to R9.

Ale and Stevie got this right, to a tee. Real Madrid's issue is that they fall asleep against lesser teams at times, disinterested as Ale said. Girona was going to get their FULL attention, and Ale and Stevie called it.
Stevie was right in point!!!

An understatement would have been the case if these two teams hadn't met before. They met at Gironas ground while they were still in superb form even over Real Madrid. Real Madrid thrashed them because of the experience and this is why they are predicting the same. It's the Bernabeau, not any other Stadium. It's going to be played like a UCL final and when Madrid thinks like that, you won't stop them even if you fasted for 5 days and 5 nights...no one can help you then

I reckon if they win or even draw to be fair its game over. Girona have to win in my opinion. The club is too small to be chasing RM. If they lose today. I can honestly see Barça & Atletico catching them. Athletic Bilbao however not so sure about. But they have already exceeded expectations. If they make UEFA Conference League or Europa League its already a tremendous season. To be top 7 for the first time in their history would be something in their 4th ever season in La Liga in 94 yrs. Also beat their highest point record of 49 pts so they have already drastically improved under a Segunda manager aswell with barely any Liga experience.
