GIRONA (Reuters) - Girona president Delfi Geli used to play alongside Pep Guardiola and while his former team mate is close to breaking the Premier League points and goals records as Manchester City coach, the Catalan club are also on their way to making history.
With a squad that cost 4.6 million euros (4.06 million pounds) to assemble -- one percent of that of their next opponents Real Madrid -- Girona have climbed to seventh in La Liga in their first top-flight campaign and are well placed to qualify for next season's Europa League.
