Azeddine Ounahi made a significant impression this Saturday by marking his first start with Girona since his injury sustained during the Africa Cup of Nations. The Moroccan midfielder fully stepped up, contributing to his team’s convincing victory over Athletic Club (3-0), in a match where he regained influence and rhythm. Girona thus secured a valuable win, notably bolstered by the convincing performance of the Moroccan international.
Very active in midfield, Ounahi participated in the fluidity of the Catalan play and confirmed that he could once again become an important piece in Míchel’s setup. His return to the starting eleven was anticipated, and his performance on the day hinted at a player capable of bringing back creativity, cohesion, and technical mastery to a team that had sometimes lacked inspiration in recent months. He even scored one of Girona’s three goals in this clear victory against Bilbao.
The Spanish press quickly praised his performance. AS noted that Ounahi had regained his place in Girona’s game, to the point of restoring coherence and identity to the Catalan collective. This assessment reflects well the impact of the Moroccan, whose profile still seems invaluable when he is in full possession of his abilities.
This strong return is undoubtedly excellent news, both for Girona and for the player himself. After several challenging weeks, Azeddine Ounahi seems finally ready to reignite his momentum. If this upward trajectory continues, the Moroccan could quickly become a central figure in his club’s ambitions for the remainder of the season.
