But the players will give t𓆉heir all to try and finish an impressive season on a high, the coach vowed.
After losing at home to Villarreal, Girona are third on 75 points, 💎one behind Barcelona, who have a game in hand.
"I see it as very difficult," Michel told reporters. "Barca are already in second place with two wins and can win all three games. It's a very complicated situation f🧸or second place.
"I see everyone in the team really fired up. These playe♏rs just have to be applauded for the s🐼eason they are having.
"After winning against Barcelona we had t🔥wo games we could have won and we only got one poin🎉t."
Girona visit Valencia, ninth in the league, on Sunday. They conclude their ▨campaign at home against lowly-ranked Granada on May 25. Barca's remaining league fixtures include Almeria, Rayo Vallecano and Sevilla.
Michel was nevertheless proud of his team and꧂ the fans despite the disappointin♋g result.
"They [the fans] have shown us that they are with the team, that they are happy with the way we do things. They know that together we are much stronger. I am very p🍨roud of the fans," the Spaniard said.
With their best finish of 10th coming in the 2017-18 and 2022-2𓂃3 campaigns, Girona's place in next season's Champions League is in doubt.
According to The Times, Premier League reigning champions Manchester City and their sister club Gi💫rona will not𓄧 both be able to compete in the tournament unless Abu Dhabi's City Football Group, who acquired 47 per cent of the LaLiga club in 2017, reduce their shareholding in one of the teams.
