Girona coach Michel admits missing Champions League qualification will be a heavy blow for the club.

Michel spoke today ahead of their clash with Osasuna.

He said: "Whatever goal is set won't hurt me. At the club, team and personal level, not going to the Champions League would be a very strong blow.

"Last year they qualified for the Conference against us. The current objective did not fit in our heads. It would not be a failure not to enter the Champions League but it would be a hard blow.

"We must try 200%, it is complicated but we can achieve it. As I believe that we are capable, not achieving it makes me think like that. I want to have this pressure, I like it and the players must think like me."
