Last Saturday in Montilivi the best possible match of the League was experienced. Although Friday’s victory of Barça against Sevilla had lowered the Gironathose of Michel they started the day receiving the Madrid leaders in a duel that pitted first against second placed. The triumph a Vila-real (1-2) had further consolidated the great start of the season for the Girona players who, with an enchanting game and 19 out of 21 possible points, arrived at the game as the sensation of the League. Despite the defeat, Girona has not lost this label of fashionable team and remains third in the table, behind Madrid and Barça. The history and magic that surrounded the match generated a warmth of euphoria, justified, in the environment. “Who knows when we’ll see this again”, said many of the supporters who, a couple of hours earlier, had already begun to brave the heat and go up to the stadium. The occasion was worth it. It was a day to enjoy and have fun without the risk of returning home to the displeasure of the big guys. The sweet moment of Girona, seeing Madrid at home and the situation of both in the classification made Montilivi pour like never before. In fact, the 14.184 who gathered on Saturday at the stadium are the best innings not only of this season, but of the club’s history since attendances are counted.
Girona-Madrid: Stabornites (0-3)
The tickets had been sold out for days and the sold-out sign and the cruising speed with which the team arrived at the duel predicted that there would be few empty seats in the stadium. There was still one at the end, from some clueless subscriber who couldn’t go at the last minute and didn’t release the card either. Be that as it may, the 14,184 exceeded by twenty-six people the 14.158 of Madrid’s visit to the King’s Cup 2018 (1-3) which until now held the attendance record. So far, that was Montilivi’s ceiling, ahead of every game last season in which the best innings was the 13.306 also of the match against Madrid on the big night of Taty Castellanos (4-2). It should be remembered that this summer the additional stands of the Gol Sud, with capacity for 700 spectators, which had not been installed last season and which, on the other hand, were there during the course, were recovered 2018-19. The capacity of the stadium, therefore, this year is 14,642 people. That is to say, that for 458 empty chairs there was no plenum that would have been even more historic.

A “low” pace this year
Obviously the entry that was there on Saturday was the best of a season in which, despite the great dynamics and the attractive game of the team, the barrier of twelve thousand spectators had not been overcome. Even more, the pace of attendance at Montilivi had been decreasing since the first match at home against the Getafe (11.810)in the second before the Las Palmas (11,619) up to the third in front of the Mallorca (11.511). This trend, logically, took off last Saturday with the 14,185 spectators who saw the visit of Real Madrid. It will be necessary to see if the fans get a little more excited in the following days at home and Montilivi manages to stay above twelve thousand spectators. Last season, still without the additional stand of Gol Sud, they only beat each other seven times. They were in the matches against Madrid (13,306), Barça (13,231), Espanyol (12,841), Betis (12.833), Atlético de Madrid (12,499), Real Sociedad (12,217) and Sevilla (12,035). On the contrary, the lowest entry of the whole last year was in the thrashing of theAlmeria (8.872).
Precisely, Almeria will be the next rival of the Girona team in the stadium. It will be after the stoppage of the competition for the international matches of national teams that there will be once the match has been played on the field on Cádiz. The duel against Almeria – which still does not have a coach after the dismissal of Vicente Moreno – in Montilivi is set for Sunday the 22nd at 1/4 of 5 in the afternoon.
El Palco dels Sastres, full
Although the vision there is getting smaller and smaller, last Saturday the Palco dels Sastres was filled to see the visit of Real Madrid. On the edge of‘a long hundred of people approached it to follow the match straight and with very difficult visibility following a custom that started in the old Vistalegre many years ago. mb girona
