Girona
Football Club

While La Liga may be known for its skilful legends and teams like Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Barca and Espanyol, much of what makes Spanish football fascinating is the underdogs. Underdogs like Girona, who spend a large percentage of their 87 years in professional Spanish football trying, but failing, to break into the Primera Division. That was until 2017. A lot of their success could be attributed to the City Football Group investing in the team and with Oere Guardiola at the helm. One transfer was crucial in the loan of Manchester City’s Ruben Sobrino.

While tickets to a Girona may not have been seen as a particularly special thing in the past, they have become highly sought-after after their recent successes. Evidence of this improvement in their game and the player’s belief that they can achieve what they set out is on display week in and week out at Estadi Montilivi, their 13,500-capacity grounds.
