Girona and Athletic, two teams that invited you to come to the stadium

Soccer fans tend to look too much at the scoreboard to determine if a match has been good and/or entertaining, and therefore often get it wrong when making their judgement. Due to the nature of a game that seeks one winner and one loser, a tie ends up being kind of a bad result or, at the very least, undervalued; and in games like Girona-Athletic This Monday is very unfair like this. Because the truth is, if no team wins, it’s because none of them deserve to lose.

He Girona of Michel Sanchez and the Athletic of Ernesto Valverde They are two teams that invite you to come to the stadium. Whatever the classification says about them, these are two combinations that give the fan an attractive and entertaining show for which it is worth paying the price of a ticket. No ball was lost and there was a sense of intensity on the pitch at all times. For this reason (although also for the historical moment of Girona and the great colony of admirers of Athletic residents in Catalonia) no wonder ‘no tickets’ was posted last night Montilivi despite the fact that it was Monday and it was a free-to-air televised match. The more than 13,000 fans who came to Montilivi They did it convinced that they would see a good show. So it is.

However, it is worth mentioning that the ‘gironins’ went home with a bittersweet taste left in their palms by a tie that, despite allowing the Michael Continuing to lead is not enough to continue to hold it alone. But in the end it all depends on the perspective. I do not like Montilivi That privilege was lost but at the same time there was not a single Girona fan who did not sign with blood which added 35 points at the end of the day on 14. In fact, the 10 points of the cushion that Girona have self-respect Athleticthat 5th, do those to Michael They can be confident of reaching the halfway point of LaLiga while in the ‘Champions zone’. Both dream of hearing the song of the said competition next year.
