After the game, with Xavi quickly marching towards the locker room, Míchel went to the center of the field. There were his players jumping to celebrate as if it were a title. And it was, without a doubt. It was that 2-4 that stripped Barça, which suffered the worst of defeats. Defeat in capital letters. He lost to what he wanted to be. What she wanted to be. And it still isn’t. Barcelona lost. Girona won for the first time and is seven points ahead.
“He is the leader, and now even more so, what Míchel and Girona have done has been well deserved. It has been spectacular. If Barça wins today we can also say that it is fair, We have lacked effectiveness and errors in defense have taken their tollwe had 2-1 and 3-3,” said Xavi.

“We dominated the game, but Girona was the one who struck first, with the 1-3 scoreline. We’ve been good in the game, a little thick“, commented the Barça coach, indicating that it was “a hard blow and a step back”, while admitting that Barça “It is a team under construction, that is the reality”.
The little details”
In that sense, Xavi wanted to send a message of calm, aware of the erosion that this defeat will mean for him. “This means taking steps back and forth, I think we have to continue on this path, not hesitate or tremble, we have to keep working. It was a KO game, whoever hit the punch took it” confessed the coach.
And the punch came from Girona to Barcelona. “I am very, very happy, we have found a great Barça, they have started very strong, we were successful in a counterattack with the 0-1 and, for me, Miguel has been a differential player,” argued Míchel, indicating that he took the victory thanks to “the small details because we were right in front of the goal, It is my 100th match in the First Division and it is the first time I have beaten Barça. It is complete happiness, complete happiness,” said the Vallecas coach.
“My players have shown a brutal mentality, they have won duels“said Míchel, who hugged Juan Carlos Unzué, the former coach, among other teams, of Girona. He hugged happily and smiling because he is the First Division leader located at the top of paradise.
