Levante's 2-3 victory over Celta has provisionally sent Girona back into the league's relegation positions, with only three matches left in the season.

This situation marks Girona's return to the dangerous part of the table, a spot they had not occupied since matchday 14. After months of resisting outside the relegation zone, Míchel's team now finds itself in a precarious position on matchday 36.
The biggest beneficiary of this matchday is Levante, which has staged a spectacular comeback. The Valencian team had spent 29 matchdays in relegation positions, from matchday 4 to 5 and then from 12 to 35, and now manages to climb out of the bottom at a crucial point in the season.
The fight for permanence is completely compressed, with Girona, Levante, Espanyol, Mallorca, and Elche all tied on 39 points. Both Girona and Espanyol, along with the other involved teams, still have to play their respective matchday 36 games. The Girona team will host Real Sociedad at Montilivi next Thursday, while the white-and-blue squad will play at home against Athletic Club. This scenario of maximum equality intensifies the race for salvation and forces the teams at the bottom to secure points to ensure their permanence.
