This weekend could potentially see Girona securing a spot in the Champions League, thanks to a game against Barcelona at Estadi Montilivi.
Barcelona is likely to be the preferred team when they clash with Girona on Saturday. However, according to Michel, the home team plans to put up a tough fight to secure a Champions League qualification spot.
Currently, Girona holds the third spot in LaLiga with 71 points, only two behind Barcelona, whom they defeated 4-2 in the last encounter in December.
Michel expressed the significance of the upcoming match, labeling it as historical and mentioning the high motivation level among the players.
Although Barcelona is considered the front-runner, playing at home in front of passionate fans gives Girona the confidence to give their all to secure a victory.
Girona, being 13 points ahead of the fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao, aims to cement a top-four finish for a guaranteed place in the Champions League.
With Athletic Bilbao facing Getafe on Friday, if they lose, Girona’s place in the top four will be confirmed even before they kick off their match.
Michel emphasized the desire to win to attain Champions League qualification and to elevate Girona’s status globally, highlighting the aspiration to surpass Real Madrid’s scoring record.
His ultimate goal is to position Girona as significant players in a league where Real Madrid stands out, having lost minimal matches.
