Girona's marathon man single-handedly seals LaLiga survival 💪 | OneFootball

Girona were one of the fairytale stories last season after securing a Champions League berth against all odds but things have been very different this time around.

An expected early exit from the league phase of Europe's elite before a dismal LaLiga campaign that threatened to end their latest spell in Spain's top flight.

Míchel's side were facing a genuine relegation battle but have now all but assured a third successive season in the league after Tuesday's 1-0 win over Valladolid.

Cristhian Stuani delivered the decisive goal late on at the Estadio José Zorrilla to extend a recent tally of six goals in his last ten games for the Blanquivermells.

Earlier in the campaign, the Uruguayan also had a hand in their narrow wins over Athletic Club and Leganés to ultimately keep Montilivi's head above water.

At 38 years old, it's no mean feat!
