Today, in the 22nd round of La Liga, Girona reclaimed the lead in the standings with a narrow victory over Celta. Michel, the head coach of Girona, revealed his thoughts on the match and answered a query regarding a potential transfer to Barcelona to succeed Xavi.

“The match was quite difficult. ” Due to the pitch, it was challenging to perform. They find themselves in a precarious position, and while we initially held the upper hand, both teams experienced periods of strength. We were mentally ready to compete on a difficult field.

Real Madrid’s loss and Barcelona’s failure bring us three points closer to European competitions. Aspirations to qualify for the Champions League? We shall determine when ten games remain.

Indeed, Real Madrid readily wins their contests, whereas ours is a more difficult task. They are below us in status.

I am contemplating Girona. Until 2026, I am bound by a contract with the club. Xavi is the most knowledgeable individual regarding Barcelona. “Barca is Xavi,” Michel remarked.

Girona leads Real by one point in the La Liga standings; however, Real holds a one-game advantage.
