A bad operation for the Catalans.
Everything was going so well for Girona FC this Saturday afternoon: a goal from Van de Beek who cleared the top corner of Mallorca in the 7th minute of play, the prospect of an away victory, that of a direct competitor overtaken in the standings and a Top 6 in Liga within reach of victory… In the end, everything was going well… be too good.
Because Girona FC quickly got bogged down in the Balearic Islands. A first goal conceded by Larin, untenable this Saturday afternoon (20th). Then a second, in the 51st minute, still from Larin, this time on the lookout for a disagreement between Juanpe and his goalkeeper Gazzaniga. As if to better remind the Catalans that their defense is seriously struggling this season. And yet they were in numerical superiority after the red card inflicted on Muriqi (32nd).
A terrible blow to the head from which Michel's men will never recover. In short, Girona FC returned from Palma with a defeat (2-1) in their bags, their head full of doubts and their body stuck in the soft underbelly of the ranking (provisional 9th place). We will inevitably have to bounce back next Friday (9 p.m.) against Valladolid, penultimate, in Montilivi.
