Can Barca overcome Girona?
Girona are flying. Number two in the league table, 38 points, six wins away and six wins at home, Michel's team will be a hard test for Barca.

There is of course a lot at stake; Barca lose, Girona go top of the table and maybe it becomes a lot more serious to think of them as actual title contenders. A miracle, but yet possible. Barca win, they cut their deficit to two points from the top and maybe create a turning point for their season with an easier fixture of games coming up to solidify their position in the league.
But it won't be easy. With Michel's attacking brand of football and a team that is incredibly well-coached, Girona have what it takes to defeat Barca who are still a bit all over the place. They have the players, the hunger and the motivation.
So will Girona go top of the table or can Barca halt their progress? Dom and I discuss.
