Girona victory deals another blow to Athletic Club’s Europe dreams
Girona dispelled any lingering relegation fears with an emphatic 3–0 win over Athletic Club, extending the visitors’ winless streak to four matches across all competitions (D1, L3).
Michel’s side had been lingering on the fringes of a relegation battle, while Athletic still harbored hopes of a European finish despite an underwhelming season so far.
Frustration quickly boiled over for the visitors when one of their own opened the scoring just four minutes in. Hugo Rincon—on loan at Girona from Athletic—put the hosts ahead with a superb angled finish at the conclusion of a sweeping left-to-right move. The goal underscored Los Leones’ ongoing defensive struggles, as they failed to keep a clean sheet for the 13th consecutive league match.
