I feel that Girona did not do so well in the UCL this season of we look at how strong they were in the La Liga last season. I had expected them to be at the same level as Aston Villa who have been doing very well bith in the Champions league and the league as well but Girona is neither doing well in the champions league nor the La Liga. Assuming they were able to qualify for next round, they would have raised more funds to bring in some new faces to the club next season.
Their strength is not that good this season and they are not performing like last season which managed to be one of the strong teams in competing. I doubt they are able to qualify for the next round because so far Girona's performance has been unstable and they still have many shortcomings to compete with some other strong teams in the Champions League. Even in La Liga itself Girona's performance is not so stable and they are not at a good level like last season.
If they want to compete then there is no way other than recruiting some of the players needed and relying on the current strength will make it difficult for Girona to face the pressure in the Champions League. Lastly they had to be eliminated in the Copa Deal Rey even though the opponent they faced was much easier, but because the match ended in a draw it had to be decided through penalties.
