Michel: "Girona's main dream is to qualify for European competition"

Girona head coach Michel Sanchez shared his emotions after the match against Atletico Madrid and once again reminded us of his team's plans for this season.

- Winning La Liga? This is not our goal. We have to think about the next game, and then the next... If we reach the European Cups, it will go down in the history of the club. Against Atletico, we played a great match. We did a lot of good things. My players have an incredible mentality and unwavering resilience. Our dream is to get to European competitions. They always try to move forward. Our dream is to get to the European competitions, but we can't stand up to Madrid one-on-one. It is difficult to be on the same level in terms of points as the top clubs.

We had resilience, the team understood how to wait for their moment. We were always determined to move forward. Solis made a great start to the game. Garcia and Martin are not the best in defence, but they give us energy. Anything could have happened in the last 25 minutes. But we have a great team," said Michel Sanchez.

It should be added that after 19 rounds, Girona is in second place in La Liga. Michel Sanchez's men have scored 48 points, and thus, they are behind Real Madrid only on the basis of the results of their head-to-head confrontation.
