Girona FC, just a year after reaching the Champions League, are staring into the abyss at the bottom of La Liga following a 4-0 drubbing by Levante. The defeat marked their fifth consecutive loss and left the club with a single point from their opening games, extending a troubling run in which they have won only two of their last 21 matches. Once praised for their entertaining, high-flying football under Míchel Sanchez, Girona have been ravaged by key departures, including top scorers and playmakers, leaving the squad unrecognizable.
The coach described his team as “a dead team,” highlighting a lack of pride, passion, and focus, and admitted that the squad’s mindset and egos were a significant problem. Even loyal fans have grown disillusioned, with attendance dropping and frustration mounting as the club struggles to replicate the magic that briefly propelled them into European competition. Girona now face the daunting task of rebuilding confidence, cohesion, and form to avoid a repeat of last season’s relegation scare.
