"We have maintained our residence in La Liga". Girona coach speaks about victory over Barcelona

Girona head coach Miguel Michel spoke to reporters after the victory over Barcelona. The teams met in the match of the 16th round of La Liga and the guests won with a score of 4:2.

In a comment to Marca, the Spanish coach admitted that he was very happy to beat Barcelona, which now looks very worthy.

“They started very strongly, but we were able to score first. The score 1:0 reassured us, but Barça quickly equalized it. We had good possession of the ball, although we could have scored at any moment. An equal match, with chances.

I beat Barça for the first time in my career, and Girona beat Barça. There were moments when my players felt tired because the pace of the game was very high. They had a cruel mentality.

This was a special victory for our team. It was very difficult. The opponent surprised us. Championship? We live every match. But now we have guaranteed ourselves a mathematical chance of maintaining our residence in La Liga. That was our goal", - he said.
