Girona, the 'phenomenon', has fallen into decline.

On the evening of April 13th, in the 31st round of La Liga 2024/25 season, Girona suffered a 1-2 defeat against Osasuna at El Sadar stadium, continuing their disappointing run of form.

Girona continues to struggle in La Liga in the 2024/25 season.

In the 2023/24 season, Girona became a sensation in La Liga, making a strong impression by securing a place in the UEFA Champions League. However, things changed rapidly this season. After parting ways with a number of stars such as Savinho and Artem Dovbyk, Girona had to face reality and return to the status of a mid-table team, or even arguably a weak one.

After 31 rounds of the 2024/25 season, Girona currently sits 16th in La Liga with a mere 34 points, just 5 points above the relegation zone. Compared to the same point last year, Girona is in freefall. They were once in 3rd place and competing for a Champions League spot.

Girona's decline became even clearer with their 1-2 defeat against Osasuna, marking their ninth consecutive loss in La Liga. Furthermore, they were eliminated early from both the Champions League and the Copa del Rey. Now, coach Michel's team faces a daunting prospect of relegation survival.

Nevertheless, yesterday's defeat also had some regrettable aspects. Girona controlled the game with a superior ball possession rate (68%), resulting in an expected goals (xG) of 0.83. They also had more shots than Osasuna (8 compared to 6). However, the home team Osasuna were the ones who capitalized on their opportunities better, scoring and winning.

Girona's current situation is a far cry from the "phenomenon" of last season. A once powerful team is now struggling to avoid relegation.
