Few people expected Girona at this level. It is even very likely that the players, the technical staff and the managers will be the first surprised by this fantastic start to the season, which allows the Catalan team to reach first place in the La Liga rankings.

The 20-year-old full-back Arnau Martínez, who has lost a little importance this season, is still on the shelves of Atlético de Madrid. On the left side, Miguel Gutiérrez, trained at Real Madrid, also attracts the interest of more upscale and financially powerful clubs.
