Girona’s Historic Triumph: Manager Michel Revels in the Joy of Breaking Barriers

In a spectacular showdown, Girona soared past the coveted 40-point mark, a threshold often considered the shield against relegation, by stunningly thrashing their Catalan rivals, Barcelona, with a 4-2 victory on Sunday night. Manager Michel Sanchez expressed his elation after the match, declaring that football enthusiasts worldwide would relish Girona’s remarkable performance.

“We are safe; with 41 points, we have reached this milestone much sooner than expected. The entire province will rejoice because we’ve etched history, an unforgettable achievement. Our heart and determination were instrumental in pushing the team forward. I am delighted as entering another dimension was precisely our aim. We are ready to fight for a top position.”

While acknowledging the impressive performance, Michel pondered the sustainability of Girona’s pace against giants like Barcelona and Real Madrid throughout the season. Despite the challenges, he emphasized the historic journey his players are crafting and expressed his happiness that fans are leaving the matches with a newfound admiration for Girona.

Earlier, Michel had criticized star midfielder Aleix Garcia for expressing his desire to join Barcelona, but the team rallied together despite the comments, creating a stronger bond.

“It has been beneficial for us, bringing us closer together,” Michel shared with MD.

“As we acknowledge the players’ level, we aim to continue making history because our potential tells us that we can keep breaking barriers. The question lingers on how long this remarkable run can endure. Yet, considering Girona’s consistent performance against formidable opponents, a regression to the mean seems unlikely. With only Alaves and Real Betis standing between Girona and the winter champions ‘title,’ their journey continues to captivate Spanish football enthusiasts.”
