2024 is just beginning, but this game is certainly a candidate for game of the year in Spain! Girona won against Atletico Madrid (4-3) and once again equaled Real Madrid at the top of the spanish championship. O Athletes, in turn, it remains in fourth place.
Valery Fernández, Savinho, Daley Blind and Ivan Martín scored the home team’s goals, while Álvaro Morata – with one hat trick – was the side’s biggest highlight mattress
Regarding the game, what to say about the first 45 minutes? Five goals, several spectacular moves and intensity at the heights. A true duel between two of the best teams in the Spanish championship. Furthermore, in the second minute, Valery Fernández immediately foreshadowed a game of a very high level: with a strong shot from outside the area, the Spaniard opened the scoring early.
When one hat trick it was insufficient…
At a disadvantage, Atleti took control of the game and Morata – inspired and effective – took advantage of a lack of attention on the home side to, in Gazzaniga’s face, put everything in a draw. In response, Girona pressed high again and Martín stole the ball from Koke near the penalty area and, despite Oblak denying Martín the goal, Savinho gave no chance on the rebound. Towards the end of the first half, there was still time for two more goals.

First, Blind – following a corner – made it 3-1 and, a few minutes later, Morata – through a spectacular individual play – reduced it to 3-2. In the second half, Simeone’s men came out with everything – Paulo Gazzaniga made, in the space of five minutes – several high-level interventions, and ended up reaching the goal naturally.
Rodrigo de Paul lost his balance – he passed several opponents with great ease – and found Morata (who else?) who, isolated in the face of the Argentine goalkeeper, didn’t hesitate and put everything back to square one. Until the end, both teams had several dangerous shots – Oblak and Gazzaniga said ‘present’ -, however, at minute 90+1, the Slovenian goalkeeper was unable to do anything to Martín’s FANTASTIC and decisive shot. Crazy ending and worthy of one of the best games of the 23-24 season.
