The first round of Girona, co-leader of Primera tied with Real Madrid on 48 points, it has placed the Girona team in the media epicenter of not only Spanish, but European football. With eighteen victories – three in the Cup -, three draws and only one defeat, the Girona team is more than the revelation of the League. It’s been a while since the goal has gone from salvation to qualifying for Europe and some even consider it a candidate for the League title. “It’s not just the what, but also the how.” These are the words of the sports director, Quique Cárcelfa few weeks to assess the state of form of a team that is falling in love everywhere. And it’s that Girona is making a habit of playing and scoring recitals this season. It’s both at home and away, where it has blown away imposing stadiums like those of the Sevilla or the Barça (2-4), among others, with a delicious game with the ball as the protagonist, a string of tactical resources and players who look like the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra when they stir the ball. All of this has multiplied the Gironamania and, aside from selling out of club shirts this festive season, the team has entered a new media dimension. So much so that it has become quite normal to see a good group of journalists from outside Girona and from outside the state at Montilivi matches and also at some training. The great role and, above all, the brilliant play of Míchel’s team has made Girona the fourth most watched team on pay channels. Only the matches of Barça, Madrid and theAtlético de Madrid are more seen than those of Girona, which accumulates one 346,158 viewers (3.2%).

Little by little, from anecdote to word of mouth, the good manners that Girona showed last season have multiplied this year and every Girona game has become a spectacle. The team plays, presses, combines, arrives and scores. All full of naturalness and humility, that has drawn admiration from across the state. «Girona is a nice team”, it is commented from Montilivi. Surely, but the fact that it is the fourth most watched in the country is because people want to see it and have a good time in front of the television.

Barça with 989,737 (8.8%) and Real Madrid, with 866,263 (8.4%) are in another league. Atlético, with 535,053 (4.6%) occupies the third step of the podium. Behind the Girona, and at a short distance, come the Seville and the Betis and already under three hundred thousand spectators follow him Royal Society and Athletic. The least watched club on paid channels is Getafe, with 191,316 viewers (2%).
