Girona won 2-0 at home against Slovan Bratislava. Girona dominated heavily and had no trouble winning the match.
Juventus were defeated at home. Juventus didn't play very well in the match. We can say that Stuttgart deserved the match. After missing an 86th minute penalty Stuttgart scored 6 minutes later and won.
Yesterday's match saw Girona play strongly as they did in the last season. The club hasn't really shown that performance this season like they did last season and I hope with yesterday's performance, they will get better because it won't speak well of the club's trajectory to just rise and fall deep in just two seasons hence the need for the team to work harder and chart more ways and strategies to win.
Last season Girona maintained a third position within the La Liga table standing, a position that was well deserved with the efforts they put into the games. Though they didn't perform so well in the UCL yet they maintained a 10th position in its calculations too. That was an average performance for a club like Girona. What everyone will expect from them this season is to double up their efforts to become stronger.
While everyone is discussing whether the best player in the world is Mbappé or Haaland, don't you think Vinícius Júnior is being overlooked? Vinícius Júnior played flawlessly again yesterday and proved that he deserves the Ballon d'Or. In my opinion, he was the player most responsible for Real Madrid's championship last year.
I won't lie, Vinicius Jr. is one of my favorite players in Real Madrid right now. He's always making the club happy and delivers during delicate moments. He's low-key a genius player within the Real Madrid team. I like how generous he is with making things happen for the club. And all he's after is for the team to win. Vini is a team player and hardworking and deserves even more accolades and attention than he's gotten thus far.
