The surprise package of the season in La Liga, Girona FC (38 pts) can go it alone at the top of the Spanish league this Sunday when Round 16 comes to a close. The Catalan club are one point behind Real Madrid (39 pts), who have already played on Saturday, and can relegate their neighbors FC Barcelona, whom they visited Sunday evening, to 7 points.
Michel Sanchez's surprising team, which currently boasts 12 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in La Liga, includes an African. His name is Ibrahim Kébé.Born in Bamako on August 1, 2000, he joined Girona FC in 2019 after training with Danaya FC (Mali). However, the defensive midfielder has yet to earn his place in Sanchez's rotation. He has taken part in just two matches this season for a total of 7 minutes.
Last year, when the club had just been promoted to La Liga, he made no appearance. Ibrahim Kébé played a major role in the club's rise to the top, taking part in 26 games in the 2nd division and scoring one goal.
