After twelve days, Míchel’s team is having fun on the field and can dream; Can they match the Foxes’ performance in 2016?
Twelve days after the First Division championship started, it can be said that Girona is not the joke. They are serious Girona and his thing is no longer just playing fun and cheerful football. After the spectacular victory against Osasuna at El Sadar (2-4) and the ‘dick’ of Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu against Rayo Vallecano (0-0), Míchel’s team has placed first in LaLiga alone.

With 31 points from twelve games, Girona leads Real Madrid with two points, FC Barcelona with four and Atlético de Madrid with six, certainly the three main candidates for the national title. And it is already 10 points ahead of Athletic Club de Bilbao, the first to be excluded from the next edition of the UEFA Champions League.
Girona has become a serious threat to the big clubs and is starting to gain space on radio, television, Twitch, YouTube and bar programs. The question being repeated is whether the Catalans are in a position to be the Spanish Leicester. After completing almost a third of LaLiga, Míchel’s Girona is having fun on the pitch and has the license to dream of repeating the achievement of the ‘Foxes’ in 2016, when they won a historic and unforgettable Premier League under the leadership from Italian coach Claudio Ranieri.
In that sense, it’s worth looking at how today’s Girona are similar and how they differ from Leicester’s.
