Not Atlético de Madrid, or Valladolid, or Valencia, or Real Sociedad. The start of the league is usually not easy and Girona tried the difficulties on the first day in four years that the championship started in the gold category.
Girona tasted the First Division for the first time in the 2017/2018 season. Opposite, a star-studded Atlético de Madrid visited the Montilivi stadium for the first time. The Catalans saw for the first time a dream come true which, moreover, was extended by two early goals from Stuani to make it 2-0 at halftime. Griezmann’s dismissal with 25 minutes remaining seemed to leave the colchoneros for dead, although the Catalans were rookies and had to settle after goals from Correa and Giménez in the 78th and 85th minutes.
2018/2019 opens again at home against Valladolid. Eusebio’s men were unable to break away from a 0-0 draw against a team that took a point with 38% possession and a single shot on goal defended by Bono. The men from Girona hit 13 times, but only once between three sticks. That year, the team returned to the silver category.
It’s hard to come back, but the ‘Gironi’ team has once again secured a ticket for the 2022/2023 campaign. The Mestalla was the place to beat and Míchel’s men tried in every way, but the ‘ché’ intensity made the visitors despair. Carlos Soler put his men in front from the penalty spot and, despite being left with one player less after Cömert was sent off in the 52nd minute, Míchel’s men did not risk .
The last and fourth beginning is located in San Sebastián. The rojiblancos faced one of the busiest groups in recent years, Real Sociedad. Kubo made it clear after five minutes that scratching points from the Basque green would not be easy. Despite this, Dovbyk spoiled the party for the locals with a goal in the second half of the game.
The ‘gironin’ have achieved three of the twelve points surrounding their premieres and, despite leaving good feelings in three of the four, they have to leave without knowing what victory will achieve on the first day of the League .
