Two years after their surprising qualification for the Champions League, Girona is still struggling to come to terms with this historic achievement. Positioned 18th in La Liga, the Catalans are set to face Real Madrid, who lost their top spot to Barcelona last night following their victory against Alavés. The match promises to hold significant stakes for both sides.
Girona’s coach, Michel, has opted for a 4-1-4-1 formation. Axel Witsel will play as the defensive midfielder, with Ounahi providing support behind forward Vanat. Tsygankov will take up the right wing. On the other hand, Xabi Alonso will go with a 4-2-3-1 setup. Having scored four goals recently, Mbappé will lead the Madrid attack. Thibaut Courtois, returning from an adductor injury, will be back in goal. With Dean Huijsen still sidelined, Militao and Rüdiger will form the central defense, while Arda Güler will play as the number 10.
Official Lineups:
Girona: Gazzaniga – Rincon, Martinez, Reis, Moreno – Witsel – Tsygankov, Martin, Ounahi, Gil – Vanat
Real Madrid: Courtois – Alexander-Arnold, Militao, Rüdiger, Garcia – Tchouaméni, Bellingham – Valverde, Güler, Vinicius Jr – Mbappé
