Girona is unrecognizable.

Coach Michel was powerless to lead Girona out of their crisis.

The cheers at Montilivi Stadium have died down. Girona, the team that shook Europe last season, is on the verge of falling into the abyss after a humiliating 1-3 defeat to Real Betis at home in the 32nd round of La Liga on the morning of April 22nd.

With only three points separating them from the relegation zone, Míchel's team is facing a harsh reality. Girona is no longer a team to be wary of – they have become easy prey for any opponent in La Liga.

From the very first minutes of the match, a heavy atmosphere enveloped the Montilivi stadium when Betis' Johnny Cardoso comfortably headed the ball into the Girona net from an unmarked corner kick. This psychological blow completely shattered the morale of the white-shirted players.

"This isn't the Girona we used to know," a disappointed fan shared. "They played like a team without a soul."

Before the first half ended, Betis extended their lead to 3-0 thanks to goals from Antony and Isco, shattering any hope the home team had. The entire Montilivi stadium fell silent, and many fans left early to avoid witnessing the heartbreaking scene.

Girona's decline is even more astonishing when compared to last season's performance. Less than a year ago, the Catalan team was a phenomenon in European football with their attractive style of play and impressive results.

"We seem to be witnessing two different clubs," Spanish media commented. "Last season, Girona attacked fiercely, confidently, and with great character. The current Girona is just a shadow of its former self."

Girona's moments of happiness are now too few.

The current situation is particularly heartbreaking for coach Míchel, who built Girona's miracle. He has now equaled a dismal record of 10 consecutive winless matches in La Liga, an unbelievable statistic for a strategist once hailed as one of the league's best coaches.

Girona's biggest problem isn't just the results, but also the way they play. The team has completely lost the identity that made them special.

Gone are the skillful short passes, the smooth combinations, and most importantly – the tireless fighting spirit. Girona now plays like a team that has accepted its fate.

"We don't recognize this team anymore," a loyal fan shared with tears in his eyes. "We can accept defeat, but we cannot accept surrendering like this."

Amidst the bleak picture, veterans like Portu and Stuani still emerge as a ray of light at the end of the tunnel. These two experienced players fought tirelessly until the very last minute, demonstrating the character and spirit of true warriors.

Will their fighting spirit be enough to inspire the whole team? With only six games left in the season, Girona needs a revolution in both their playing style and their mentality.

"We have to make changes immediately," coach Míchel stated in the post-match press conference. "I still believe in my players, but we need to act now."

The clock is ticking. Girona still have a chance to avoid disaster, but they must rediscover themselves – otherwise, their La Liga dream will end in bitter disappointment.
