Last tickets available for the tasty La Liga clash between resurgent Girona and Simeone's Atlético Madrid at Montilivi on December 21st.
Former Champions League Sides Lock Horns in Crucial La Liga Encounter
If you’re after some proper Spanish football before your Christmas dinner, Montilivi’s got just the ticket as Girona host Atlético Madrid in what promises to be a right bobby dazzler on Sunday, December 21st.
Girona Finding Their Feet
Michel’s men have finally started to show some of that magic that captivated us all last season. After a proper nightmare start to the campaign, they’ve managed to claw their way back:
- Two wins, two draws and just one defeat in their recent league outings
- Level on points with teams outside the relegation zone
- The buzz is slowly returning to Montilivi
It’s been a proper struggle for the Catalans this term, especially after their fairytale run last season that saw them qualify for the Champions League. But the tide seems to be turning, and the faithful at Montilivi have reasons to be cheerful again.
Atlético’s Jekyll and Hyde Season
Meanwhile, Simeone’s Atlético have been a bit of a strange one this campaign. After a dodgy start, they’ve picked up some decent form, but there’s a massive difference between their home and away performances.
The Civitas Metropolitano remains their fortress, but on their travels? That’s where the problems start. This Jekyll and Hyde act makes their visit to Girona all the more intriguing.
Unusual Kick-Off Time
The match kicks off at the rather unusual time of 14:00 local time. It’s not often you see big fixtures scheduled for lunchtime in Spain, but it does give fans from both sides the chance to make a proper day of it in Girona.
Last Tickets Available
For anyone fancying a pre-Christmas Spanish football fix, there are still some tickets up for grabs across various sections of the stadium. Different price points are available depending on your preferred view and proximity to the pitch.
But you’ll need to be quick about it – they’re selling like hot cakes, and as they say in the trade, once they’re gone, they’re gone.
This clash between two sides who graced the Champions League last season promises to be one of the highlights of Matchday 17. Don’t miss it if you’re in the area!
