Girona will find it a bit difficult to cope with pressure of this season as they will be competing in another competition which is the Champions league. Although I had expected them to win their opening match of the season but unfortunately they settled for the draw. Since it was their first match of the season and they were playing at away I don't think the result they got was that bad. Real Betis were also very prepared not to disappoint their fans in their opening game of the season in their home. Both teams should be happy with the draw. Girona even did good by getting a point at away. We will start knowing the full strength of Girona this season after at least 5 games of the season. But for a club like Girona to get an away point in the first fixture at away is a good result.
Facing Real Betis, Girona had a hard time witnessed by 54,086 spectators who filled the Benito Villamarin stadium.
Still in a lucky situation, they got 1 point in the 72nd minute. If Misehouy had not scored, Girona would have suffered their first defeat in round 1.
The competition that Girona will follow is not only La Liga, the Champions League is a competition that will force them to use various energies. If last season they were able to perform super, this season they may not be able to repeat it.
They should do better in the Champions League because the teams there are much better than most of the teams in La Liga. Of course Girona has no claim and will only go to the tournament to enjoy it, but if they still want to be successful, I think they have to learn how to win again. This shows us that they have to show a good performance like last year. I hope we will see that because Girona was a team full of surprises last year and they were very good.
