Girona manager Michel has refused to rule out his side’s chances of making it to Europe following their lose to Sevilla in LaLiga on Saturday.

Captain Arnau Martinez had pulled Girona ahead at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi in the first half, but goals from Saul and Dodi Lukebakio after the break gave the visitors a 2-1 victory.

As a result, Girona missed the chance to move into the top six in the Spanish top flight and sit two points behind sixth-placed Real Mallorca, who have a game in hand.

“One game does not take away the idea that we have the potential to fight for Europe,” Michel said after the game.

“I am clear about it and also that we have to show it on the pitch.”

Girona had finished third in LaLiga last season to qualify for European competition for the first time in their history.

But they have struggled for form this campaign, losing eight of their 20 games while only winning eight with five of those wins coming on home soil.

Saturday was the first time they had lost at home after leading at half-time in the league since a defeat to Real Betis in May 2023.

“This is a step backwards but there is the whole second half of the season. We have to continue believing, working,” Michel said.
