Girona’s summer acquisition Azzedine Ounahi is beginning to look like one of the quiet bargains of the season, after delivering a standout performance capped with a superb goal in the club’s clash against Real Madrid. The Moroccan midfielder, who arrived from Marseille earlier this summer, has steadily grown into his role under Michel, and his latest display has further strengthened his case as one of La Liga’s most influential midfielders so far.
Ounahi, known for his close control, agile movement, and ability to progress the ball through tight spaces, was at the heart of everything positive Girona produced on the night. His goal, skillfully executed and delivered at a crucial moment, earned widespread applause from the home crowd, who have quickly embraced him as a key figure in their evolving project.
Since making the switch to Spain, the 23-year-old has impressed with his consistency, offering balance in midfield while contributing both defensively and offensively. His work rate, composure under pressure, and eye for incisive passes have added a new dynamic to Girona’s system, helping the club maintain competitive form in the early stretch of the season.
