Girona has made history. The 5-1 against Sevilla, in an ode to football, allowed the red and whites to add three points that catapulted them to 52 after only 21 league games. Champion figures that allow him to live in his best campaign in LaLiga. It has surpassed the 51 points that were added with Pablo Machín in the 2017-18 campaign. These current 52 points are his record. Míchel was euphoric about it, although he continues to maintain humility. He is not looking at the League title because the “goal is Europe.”

On the other hand, he also faced questions about what he experienced with the VAR in the duel between Real Madrid and Almería. He was elegant: “We are competing under the same conditions as the other teams. I don't feel any kind of black hand or anything like that. We are there, we can and they let us play as we want and we don't see any strange situation. "I don't believe in those situations."

The victory against Sevilla: “It was an incredible match. There was a very important rival in front of us. It is Sevilla, with great footballers and a coach who is preparing his team to compete in two competitions. The team had incredible verticality. These players deserve all the praise they receive. It also serves to make history because Girona's best score in First Division has already been surpassed. “I am very happy for the fans and the players.”

The VAR in the match against Real Madrid: “I have not seen the match because the rival for us is not Madrid. Yes they are for Barça and Atlético de Madrid. Today we have made history, we have managed to surpass Girona's scoring record in First Division. We will continue in LaLiga next year and now we have a beautiful challenge which is to improve the tenth position and fight for Europe. To continue working every day. We have the Cup and let's see if we can beat Mallorca to get into the semifinals."

Michel's closing comments

More about the VAR controversy in Madrid-Almería: “We are competing under the same conditions as the other teams. I don't feel any kind of black hand or anything like that. We are there, we can and they let us play as we want and we don't see any strange situation. "I don't believe in those situations." Fight for the League title: “I see Barça, Madrid and Atlético capable of winning ten games in a row and the demand to do that is not in my head. It is impossible to think that we are going to win every game three at a time. This is for the big teams like City, Bayern, PSG, Barça, Madrid... the rest of us have to watch game by game. The team is ready to fight for Europe, we take 20 points from seventh. If we want to fight for the Champions League we will have to see it later. But if we came sixth I wouldn't see it as a failure either, it wouldn't be fair."
