Girona's winning streak in the Spanish League was halted by a draw with Athletic Bilbao with a goal each, in the match held at the end of the fourteenth round of La Liga.
Since the defeat to Real Madrid in the eighth round on September 30, Girona has won all of its next six matches, including a match in the first round of the Spanish King's Cup.
But Athletic Bilbao, led by former Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde, came to stop these victories on the one hand, and on the other hand, give Real Madrid the top spot in the Spanish League standings.
Girona took the lead in the 55th minute through Viktor Tsygankov, but Iñaki Williams was able to turn the tide for the Basque club in the 68th minute.
With this result, Girona's score rose to 35 points, on par with Real Madrid, but it lost the lead due to the Royal Club's superiority on goal difference (+22) compared to only (+15) for Girona.
Atletico Madrid occupies third place in the Spanish League with 31 points, which is also the same as Barcelona, while Bilbao, after a draw with Girona, is in fifth place with 25 points.
It is noteworthy that Girona coach Miguel Angel Sanchez Muñoz announced earlier that Girona's goal this season is to achieve 53 points and thus ensure participation in a European competition next season, and he ruled out the idea of continuing to compete with the top three for the Spanish League shield.
