The 2022-23 campaign delivered a sensational return to the top flight for Girona, as the newly-promoted Gironistes secured a hugely successful 10th-place finish in La Liga, their first season back in the elite since 2019. Leading the charge was the sensational Argentine striker Valentín 'Taty' Castellanos, whose 13 crucial league goals anchored the attack. The season was immortalized by one spectacular individual performance, as Castellanos became the first player in nearly 75 years to score four goals against giants Real Madrid in a single league match. It was a pivotal year that firmly established the club back in La Liga under manager Míchel and remains a proud and defining chapter in their history.
