Tempers go at Girona
Carles Pérez was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Loan watch5 Oct 2026
Toni Fuidias counts the days
“I watch every Girona game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Gijón runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Nothing got past Buba Sangaré
20 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Markel Montero was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Girona dressing room was either.

Point won or two lost for Girona?
Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Levante? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.
Looking ahead5 Oct 2026
Álex Moreno goes back to face Barcelona
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Álex Moreno’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Girona needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Cristhian Stuani left out for tactical reasons at Girona

In brief
