Girona on brink of relegation after last gasp defeat against Levante
The Catalan side need a miracle on the final day to stay in La Liga
Cruel. Sad. The worst way possible. Girona will be in the second division next season. It's not official, but they need to win and hope that Celta Vigo lose next weekend while overturning a six goal difference.

Girona led against Levante on Sunday but ended up losing 2-1 after having a penalty decision go against them following a lengthy VAR review.
Stuani's goal had looked set to give Girona life. The Uruguayan also missed another chance at 1-1 but the goals from Jose Luis Morales and Enis Bardhi in the second half undid the Catalans.
Meanwhile, Iago Aspas' late consolation for Celta Vigo as they lost 3-1 to Athletic Bilbao proved crucial in the goal difference stakes, with both sides level on head to head record.
Girona are at Alaves next weekend, while Celta host already relegated Rayo Vallecano. It's no wonder Girona coach Eusebio was crying in his press conference after the game.
