There are new kings in the northeast of Spain. Girona is no accident. Their aim is the Spanish throne.
On Sunday, they marched down to Barcelona, took down the giants, and put the country on alert that they are on a mission to win a title.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid dropped more points against a spirited Real Betis. That leaves Girona two points clear at the top of the table through 16 games.
Barcelona have some soul searching to do.
They were the more talented team on the day, but they didn’t know how they wanted to play.
