Girona's dream has finally come true. With their victory over Barcelona, the Girona side mathematically certified their presence in the next edition of the Champions League. First participation in Europe and through the front door with the highest continental category at club level.

A success that has undoubtedly come from the hand of Michel's management on the bench. The coach went on 'El Partidazo de COPE' and analysed the historic qualification of the Catalan side: "We have to enjoy it and celebrate it as it deserves. I always play the video of the weekend's game, but I know that they're thinking that we've achieved something very important and I want to leave them to their own devices; they're on a high, knowing that they've achieved something historic. It's a nice challenge".

In addition, Michel spoke about Girona's possible departures in the summer: "We're f*cked. Getting into the Champions League means that those with contracts and offers have to play in a very attractive competition. If we have to sell, we'll sell, but we're not a club that now thinks more about non-sporting matters. The loanees like Savinho, Pablo, Eric, Couto... I don't know what's going to happen, but the rest are under contract and I hope to see them when they return. Xavi already said he was counting on Eric Garcia".

Although the one who is not going to leave will be him: "I have not hesitated. I have a contract but you never know what can happen. Nobody has made me an offer to coach next year. I try to respect my job. I prefer that my agent doesn't tell me anything until I'm sure. I have a contract and I'm going to continue".
