Girona took a big step towards Champions League qualification with an impressive 4-1 victory over Cadiz in La Liga. This win guaranteed them a spot in European football next season.
The team from northeastern Spain has been a standout in European football this year, especially considering their previous best finish in La Liga was 10th place. After the game, players celebrated with fans, wearing special shirts to mark their historic qualification for European competition for the first time in the club's history.
Coach Michel Sánchez is determined to aim high, setting the team's sights on the Champions League, despite slipping from the top of La Liga.
However, there might be a snag as Girona is partly owned by Manchester City's Abu Dhabi ownership, potentially conflicting with UEFA rules that prevent teams with the same owner from competing in the same competition.
Girona remains unfazed, citing past examples of clubs with shared ownership participating in UEFA competitions.
