Small shock in Spain. Still in the Champions League last season, Girona fell back to the Spanish second division. The Catalans were held in check by Elche this Saturday on the last day of La Liga (1-1), and thus finished their exercise in 19th place in the championship.

Several well-known European football players played there this season, such as Ounahi, Witsel, Stuani, Bryan Gil, Donny van de Beek, Viktor Tsygankov, Daley Blind, Marc-André ter Stegen and Thomas Lemar. Mallorca will experience the same fate as Vedat Muriqi’s teammates end their season in 18th place. A poor performance which makes Kosovar’s performance even more remarkable. The 32-year-old striker has scored 22 goals in La Liga, trailing the top scorer, Kylian Mbappé (25 goals)
