Girona dreamed of celebrating a historic success this very night: the mathematical classification of their football team for the Champions League, obviously an unprecedented feat. Athletic’s defeat in Getafe was needed and it didn’t happen, on the contrary, it was the Basques who came out victorious from the Coliseum thanks to two goals from Iñaki Williams (0-2) despite finishing with 9 due to the expulsions of Yeray and Paredes, and a missed penalty by the locals. But calm down. The Champions League is only three points behind Girona. It will be achieved tomorrow by beating Barça at the stadium (6.30 p.m.), or by adding three points in the other four games remaining until the end of the season… if Valverde’s men were able to win everything.
After a memorable season, qualification for the main continental football club competition will be the icing on the cake for Girona who have a lot of work ahead of them. One of the main ones, solving the problem that will be generated with Montilivi when UEFA confirms that they will not be able to use the provisional stands and the capacity for European parties must be less than 9,000 seats.
Girona, with the Europa League secured, he has the Champions League just three points away. In this final stretch of the season, they have to host Barça, Villarreal and Granada, and travel to Vitoria and Valencia. For many fans, it would be historic to achieve success tomorrow with a victory over Barça, which would also leave Míchel’s team in second place. Aside from the money that comes with staying the higher the better in the standings, the runner-up has a ticket to the Super Cup.
