Claudio Echeverri Comes Off Bench to Lift Girona to 2-1 Win Over Barcelona

After a bruising loan in Germany, the 20-year-old says Girona is helping him recapture the level that led to his Manchester City move.

Overview

  • Introduced in the 62nd minute, Echeverri dispossessed Jules Koundé to start the move that ended with Fran Beltrán’s late winner for 2-1.
  • He created two clear chances, won both of his individual duels, and completed 87% of his passes in a brief, high-impact cameo.
  • Post-match, he said the months in Germany were very difficult and emphasized he is working to regain the version that earned his transfer to City.
  • Manchester City bought him in 2024 for €18.5 million, and he is at Girona within the City Football Group structure on a deal through June 2026.
  • The result left Barcelona relinquishing the league lead, with Real Madrid moving top, as Girona took a statement win.
