It is a demanding match. It is a team that has done very well, it will be difficult. We have a lot of respect for the rival and we will see what happens tomorrow. We are confident to win after the draw in the derby.
Rodrygo is playing and he is contributing. I will never talk to him about the goals he doesn't score. The important thing is that he contributes, as he is doing, he is playing very well. Nacho started individual work today. It's an overload, there are no injuries. By Tuesday he will be fine. Rüdiger trained today and has a good feeling. Tomorrow we will do another test, if he feels good, at his best, he will play tomorrow. If not, we will not risk it, although it is a risk-free body part. Today he had good feelings, let's see tomorrow how he reacts. Vinicius is fine.
This issue was born with the loss of Kepa in the month of November. Afterwards Lunin played and contributed. For me the difficult thing is to choose who is the substitute, because neither of them deserve it.

Michel
Manager on Girona…INJURIES
Dovbyk remains a doubt for Saturday, we will decide tomorrow on his situation. David López and Toni Villa are still out, along with Blind, Yangel, Joel Roca and Juan Carlos Martín.
…TITLE RACE
We can't talk about that, even if we can win this Saturday. The demand is maximum in 14 days, and Real Madrid or Barça are capable of winning the rest of the remaining games. It is a dream for us to reach a match like this in the classification. Emotional preparation is the most important thing, living it from normality.
…SANCTION
I accepted the sanction, but I think the card was unfair. Even if I'm not in the band, I will be with the team in the stadium, I trust my staff.
