Girona faces Real Madrid this Friday in the match corresponding to matchday 31 of La Liga EA Sports, which takes place at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. Míchel's team arrives in the capital after their last victory against Villarreal, which leaves them eight points away from the relegation spots. Girona's history has its turning point in 2017, when it was acquired by the City Football Group and the Girona Football Group, owned by Pere Guardiola. From then on, the team achieved promotion to the First Division and even made its debut in the Champions League during the last season. Girona plays at the Estadio de Montilivi, which has undergone several modifications in recent years, mainly due to the team's recent promotions and arrival in the Champions League. Pere Guardiola, brother of the City coach, is the owner and CEO of the company created to acquire a part of the club's shares. The operation will allow Girona to benefit from the knowledge and experience of the City Football Group, as well as its extensive network of infrastructure, technical teams, talent capture, development of young players, and executive leadership, combined with its global media, marketing, and commercial potential. Girona's president is still former Atlético de Madrid player Delfí Geli, but the owners are the City group and Pere Guardiola, as president of the Girona Football Group, who each own 44.3% of the club's shares. Girona has a close relationship with Manchester City, as the City Football Group owns the English club and has shares in teams around the world, including the Catalan club.
