The final. The last and final. He Gerona, who will say it, he will travel to Pamplona with striking options to aim for European competitions. At the beginning of the season, the prevailing opinion wanted to be calm on the last day against an Osasuna with nothing at stake. Not only did they play everything, they were also the two teams, along with Athletic, with the most chances to achieve the Conference League of next year. Of course, the lions are only worth a victory at the Bernabéu, so the fight for the continental battle on the last day will be played at El Sadar in a final with Osasuna and Girona.
50 Navarrese, 49 Catalans. The sorting distance is separated by a point, failure is not an option. If Athletic played at the white house, it seemed, Osasuna would have to hold on to the tie to stay in the seventh step. What is happening? That if Rayo wins their match in Mallorca, they will be the first to bid. The Balearic Islands, by the way, also have options to get that place, although the probabilities are remote.
For this reason, a colorful match is expected. Girona know that they have to win the game if they want to have real options, but they also know the situation of their rival, that it is useless for them to draw if the others follow other fiefdoms. The match, therefore, is expected to be exciting, open and with kickbacks ‘in creixendo’ as the minutes are reduced to 90 regulations.
those of Michael they travel with the key defensive absence of Santi Bueno. Neither will they be Ricard Artero, Joel Roca, Ibra Kebé and Toni Villa. Juanpe Doubtful, but it looks like he’ll be with the team. The two positive news have the name of Rodrigo Riquelme and Ivan Martín. The man from Madrid seems to have recovered from his discomfort and could play as a starter. Iván, who didn’t seem to miss the rest of the course, trained normally and I don’t rule out seeing him on the pitch.
The Pamplonicas suffered fewer casualties. Nacho Vidal and Brasanac are the absences from Jagoba Arrasate’s list. Yes, they can count on Moi Gómez, after completing the last two training sessions normally, an important part in the local scheme.
If no penalties are involved, expect a pressure cooker in El Sadar. The ‘no tickets’ sign will be flashing in the offices and there will be a red tide of 23,000 spectators. On the other hand, not rojilla but rojiblanca, some 450 fans from Girona will visit the facilities of a stadium where they dream of making history. A great reception was expected for the local team, which made an appeal to focus its fans and lift the team on wings as the bus appeared near the district.
As the two revelation teams of the season take the field, expect tension, nerves on the surface and emotions that can’t always be contained. The defending party will be very strict and any detail may tip the balance in favor of one or the other. Osasuna will be looking to tie themselves up in Europe after missing out on victory in the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid and Girona will be looking to emerge victorious from the most important match in their history in the First Division.
