At the post-match press conference, Míchel said: "The team as a whole was excellent. Ounahi is a remarkable player with the ball, but he’s also very tactically intelligent, and he showed it today. In the first half, he was outstanding in duels on the left wing and truly made the difference when the ball was at his feet."He added: "Even after Areso came on and Williams was moved centrally, Ounahi stayed focused and knew exactly what to do at every moment."The coach concluded: "This success is not Ounahi’s alone; the entire Girona squad has taken a step forward. After a disappointing start to the season, we needed calm and cohesion, and that proved crucial to earning this point."Notably, the clash between Girona and Athletic Bilbao ended 1-1 at San Mamés stadium.
