GIRONAGirona will not have fourteen European Cups. Not thirty-five leagues. But let’s see who will see off the review he gave to Madrid (4-2). It was the perfect night, the one you can’t even dream of imagining. Ask Castellanos, author of the four goals. The Argentinian had everything going for him, while the fans marveled in the stands. What a communion, all of it. And what a pleasure. April 25 is also Sant Narcís, a date on which Girona beat Madrid for the first time. He hasn’t lost either game this year.
Montilivi sang, under the rain, “Míchel català”. It was a fantastic moment of joy, which corresponded to the happiness that the Girona stands felt, with the scoreboard showing a memorable 2-0. With the 4-1 they were already singing “Que boti Montilivi” and “Girona és de Primera”, while going crazy with joy. What intensity was experienced. Like never this season, in fact. The public had to pinch themselves to see if that was really happening, if Girona, a team that lost 3-0 in Cartagena a year ago, was really sweeping the European champions. How life changes, in the blink of an eye.
Ancelotti’s were against the ropes without foreseeing it. Rarely has the white-and-red set been as effective in front of the opposing goal. It was Castellanos who caused the ecstasy, with a poker that even makes the hat trick of Olunga. What a night, Taty’s, which will always be remembered in Girona, now it is, whatever happens.
Protagonism for all of Míchel’s team, who simply crushed Madrid. The three full-backs, Miguel, Arnau and Yan Couto, and Riquelme were Castellanos’ assistants. In the first half, the Argentinian sent two balls into the net, with an unknown anger, which were a gift for a devoted fan who will not have to suffer much to ensure permanence. With the three points, the team climbs to forty-one.
Vinícius is forgiven the expulsion
While Vinícius faced everyone and earned a second yellow that Iglesias Villanueva did not dare show, Castellanos continued to score. The Brazilian is a bit of a footballer, one of the best in the world. No one doubts that. Madrid’s little danger came thanks to his imbalance and he even cut distances with a good header. But Vinícius gets lost, showing the shield in the stands and causing brawls. Castellanos, on the other hand, was going to his. Not a minute had passed since the second time had already marked the third. Then I would do another one. What a party and what a recital, really.
Everything happened very quickly, in Montilivi, installed in a bubble from which it will take days to get out. Every counterattack from Girona made it look like the fifth might even fall, but it was Lucas Vázquez who scored. What was he doing there, if Madrid was a guest at the Girona party. With the League lost and focused on the final of the Copa del Rey and the semi-finals of the Champions League, he did not take away even the pride to react. And now it’s Barça who can take the final shot at a title they’re already chasing with the tips of their fingers. If Xavi’s men win in Vallecas against Rayo Vallecano this Wednesday (10 p.m., DAZN), they will take fourteen points. Only twenty-one will remain.
