Girona head coach Girona head coach Michel Sanchez believes that it will be difficult for the team's forward Artem Dovbyk to win the Spanish league's top scorer trophy in the last round of La Liga.
"Sorlot scored four goals. When I was replacing Dovbyk, I told him that I wanted to bring Stuani out after his injury and recovery, because he had been working on it. He had to go through it, and I explained the situation to him.
Dovbyk will play in the match against Granada. We'll see if he has a chance to become the top scorer, but it will be difficult," Marca quoted Michel Sanchez as saying.
It will be recalled that Villarreal forward Sorlot is 2 goals ahead of Dovbyk in the La Liga scoring race.
The Spanish edition of Marca commented on Real Madrid's 4-4 draw in the Spanish league match against Villarreal. The author of the article expressed his views on the performance of Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.
"Lunin returned to the starting line-up, wanting to convince Ancelotti that he is worthy of playing in the Champions League final. The Ukrainian made a great save in the first half after Serlot's shot, but it was noticeable that Lunin lacks confidence when dealing with set pieces. This is his weak point. Courtois mastered it a long time ago. In the second half, Lunin conceded goals from Serlot - not the best resume for a Ukrainian before the Champions League final. But he is not to blame for the missed goals. Score: 8," the article says.

This shows the fantastic work of the players and the coaching staff," Marcelino was quoted as saying by Marca.
