Catalonia's number one football team has always been FC Barcelona, until now! Tiny Girona FC are making it big, battling it out at the top of La Liga in just their fourth ever season in Spain's top division. Press play below to listen or subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts or Spotify.

Cillian Shields joins Lorcan Doherty to chat about the players and manager making the miracles at Montilivi happen. 

Pepe Sierra, a Girona fanatic and president of the federation of Girona supporters' clubs, and Eduard Solà, a journalist at Catalunya Ràdio who has covered Girona for many years, talk about what the club – and this special season – means to them. 

This week's Catalan phrase is 'deixar-s’hi la pell' – you could say Girona FC are playing out of their skin.
