Goodbye, Champions. The biggest European tournament has been, for Girona, as the first love. Painful at least.
Those of Míchel They premiered in love to the bars, excited in the most historical season since the club was formed. PSG, Milan, Liverpool, Arsenal … The raffle against Osasuna is still remembered, with the fans chanting from the stands every bomb that fell on the calendar.
Well, the road is over, three points and a sea of misfortunes have characterized the ‘Gironins’ during the competition. The lack of experience, as in the first love, has disappointed some details that are so decisive to the greatest.
This time he was both Stuani which was canceled by millimeters. It was a hard blow to the chest that hurt both the charrúa and the more than 9,000 match attendees. The striker celebrated with his teammates, aware that, for a few seconds, he achieved the only thing he was missing for sealing as a professional footballer and with the ‘Blanc-Vermella’ shirt. Again, bad luck invaded the team. One more time.
However, no one will erase from the retinas what the club with the fans ‘Gironina’ have felt in this new adventure that no one will erase from its history. At the end of the ninety minutes, those present decided to stay to support the team and thank the effort despite having harvested only three points.
The full squad, even those who did not play, joined the pineapple to completely surround Montilivi’s green and take the last round with European color before setting the locker room and rest to focus, definitely, in LaLiga.
It was pretty while it lasted. With this feeling the Girona of the Champions League leaves and the road was short, but intense. And with this, the club is aware that this, perhaps, can only be the beginning of a great future. Although no, maybe it doesn’t come back. You never know.
What is clear is that the environment was special again, that melody has unique notes that pushes to carry with them a feeling and a different motivation. And precisely that is what will already begin to miss the gerund fans, aware that touching the sky cannot be achieved every day.
And so ended the most beautiful story, although no less painful, from Girona in the Champions League. As Míchel said, “we want to play on Wednesdays.”
