    Just watched Girona match. They come from behind to win 2-1.
    Could they do a Leicester City??
    I doubt it. They should probably focus on getting a CL spot.
    Still an amazing story though

    Girona's counter-attacks are a joy to watch.

    Yes, I don't think he has missed a match. He is still a capable CB but not anywhere else.

    I hope Koeman brings him to the Euro.
    Not as a starter but as an important backup

    It turns out Girona are owned by the same group that owns ManCity and a bunch of other teams across the world. UEFA have an interesting rule that prohibits two teams owned by the same beneficial owner from competing in the same Euro competition. If Girona win La Liga and ManCity finish 2,3 or 4 in the EPL, Girona goes to the CL and ManCity drop down to the Europa League. Hope this comes to pass!!!!

    there was discussion on another thread about whether Girona would be permitted to play in the CL along side ManCity. Obviously this is dependent on Gironal finishing in the top four of La Liga. I just checked and the club is not completely owned by City Football Group. They own just over 47% of the club thus, I don't think there is an ownership issue that would affect their participation.

    the bigger issue is that their arena only seats 14,000. I can't remember if UEFA have a minimum seating requirement for CL teams.
     
  20. You will be forced to switch to a suitable stadium.

    I think Barcelona is the closest city with a stadium option.

    They almost can fit the whole city in it.
    Girona ( Catalan: [ʒiˈɾonə]; Spanish: Gerona [xeˈɾona] ⓘ) is a city in northern Catalonia (Spain) at the confluence of the Ter, Onyar, Galligants, and Güell rivers. The city had an official population of 103,369 in 2020 but, the population of the Girona- Salt urban area is estimated to be about 156,400 (2020).
