Girona manager Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz knows what it’s like to be a ‘small’ club up against the big FC Barcelona. “I played most of my career at Rayo Vallecano and that’s also where I started as a manager. I helped them get promoted to La Liga, then did the same with Huesca and completed the hat-trick when we promoted to La Liga with Girona in 2021. So I know where we come from and what it takes to be an underdog and still achieve success.
“Ready to challenge FC Barcelona”
The coach knows what to expect from his players. “We know that in games like this against a strong FC Barcelona, this is very important. My players know that too and together we are ready to take on that challenge again. The season is still young and we know that every point can be important,” said Muñoz.
Hans-Dieter Flick (FC Barcelona coach): “It’s all about winning the match against Girona”
FC Barcelona faces a tough task. The away match at Girona is on the program and next week the Catalans will play the first Champions League match against AS Milan. Coach Hans-Dieter Flick wants to work out the last kinks this week in order to be able to perform optimally. “Here it is the tradition to play over, but I also want them to go straight to goal. They should focus a bit more on scoring. I don’t think my style has brought about major changes. I look for the same, high pressure and playing in the opponent’s midfield. But in the end you have to win. It’s all about winning matches and at Barça you have to play well,” says the German coach.
“We have to be active with and without the ball”
If that theory is put into practice, no opponent is too strong for Barça, Flick believes. “Then it doesn’t matter who you play against. The only thing I can say about Girona is that we want to be an active team. We have to be active with and without the ball. It’s up to us to do that. Then we can direct the opponent in the desired direction and win the ball back as quickly as possible,” concludes the FC Barcelona coach.
Statistics
Girona is in fifth place after four rounds, which is certainly not bad. But compared to last season, the team of our compatriots Misehouy, Van der Beek, Blind and Danjuma has already lost a lot of points. Four in total. FC Barcelona is doing a lot better in that respect. They are still undefeated and are therefore leading La Liga with twelve points from four matches.
Head 2 Head
In Girona, the two teams played against each other for the last time on May 4 this year. Muñoz’s team was a size too big for FC Barcelona and won 4-2 against the Catalans. Girona also triumphed in Barcelona last season. The team from Girona defeated FC Barcelona with the same result as in the home match: 2-4.
Current form Girona
How did Girona get the seven points they have collected so far? In the first match of the season, they drew at Real Betis. Then Girona lost to Atletico Madrid. Then they won 4-0 against Osasuna and 0-2 at Sevilla. That brings the total to seven points. So the form is improving, because the results from the first two matches were quite disappointing.
Current form FC Barcelona
FC Barcelona started the season well. The Catalans kicked off the season with a 1-2 win in the difficult away match at Valencia. Then they won at home with the same score against Athletic de Bilbao. And to complete the hat trick, the third La Liga match that Barça played this season also ended in a 1-2 draw. This time at Rayo Vallecano. Just before the international break, Barcelona broke with tradition and went all out by winning 7-0 against Real Valladolid. So it seems that things are going well in Catalonia.
Rag basket
Girona midfielder Yangel Herrera and forward Garcia Jastin are out of the match against FC Barcelona. Yangel has a thigh injury and Garcia has a shoulder injury.
FC Barcelona will not be able to count on Andreas Christensen and Ronald Arauji. Both defenders are out due to injuries. Frenkie de Jong will also not play against Girona due to an ankle injury. Midfielders Marc Bernal and Fermin Lopez will keep De Jong company in the sickbay. These two are also out due to injuries.
