Spanish journalist Sergio Cortina described Girona’s current style of football in the 2007/08 UEFA Cup against St. Petersburg. Petersburg compared it with Zenit’s match. Wrote this on social network X.
“When I watch Girona matches, I remember the same Zenit, where Andrei Arshavin was the team leader. They later managed to win the UEFA Cup. At Euro 2008, the Spanish national team showed a similar attitude. It seems impossible to make the game look better than Girona are doing right now,” Cortina wrote.
In the current season of the Spanish Championship, Girona scored 48 points after 19 rounds. The team is behind the championship leader Real Madrid only in additional indicators.
In the 19th week of La Liga, Girona defeated Atletico Madrid at home. The meeting ended with a score of 4:3. The winners’ goals were scored by Valeri, Savio, Daley Blind and Ivan Martin. Alvaro Morata, who scored a hat-trick, scored the goals for Atletico.
In May 2008, Zenit won the UEFA Cup by defeating Scottish Glasgow Rangers in the final of the tournament (2-0).
