Carles Pérez makes an instant impact as Girona beat Sporting 0-2
Carles Pérez scored on his debut after just two training sessions, helping Girona secure a 0-2 win at El Molinón.
Immediate debut with a goal
According to MARCA, Carles Pérez needed just two training sessions with Girona to find the net on his first outing. The winger scored the 0-2 in El Molinón, sealing the win for the Catalan side against Sporting Gijón, handing the hosts their first defeat.
Rescission and the move to Girona
The article explains that Pérez’s arrival came after a summer of uncertainty about his next step. Before joining Girona, he spent time with Aris Thessaloniki on loan from Celta Vigo, and the deal was triggered by a late mutual termination with Celta before the transfer window closed.
Step-by-step, match after match
With the game effectively decided, Carles Pérez highlighted the role he wants to play in the squad. As quoted by MARCA, he said: “I’ve come to add value, help in whatever minutes I can, and I feel I chose the right club in Girona. Starting like this gives me morale and confidence to work the same or even harder.” He also stressed Girona’s route to consistency: “At Montilivi no point can be dropped, and away from home we need to fight like we did at El Molinón, because only a few teams can beat us that way.”
Second division with ambition
The piece also notes this is a return to Segunda after nine years, referencing his time with Barcelona’s B team (2017/18). Now aged 28, he’s looking to reestablish himself, and Girona’s aim is to push back toward the top flight. For now, his debut—so quickly after arriving—sets the tone for what the club can hope for next.
