Girona coach Michel says they're making more history in the Copa del Rey.

Girona defeated Rayo Vallecano last night 3-1 to reach the Copa quarterfinals.

Michel said: "We're in a very nice situation to continue enjoying this competition. We want take one more step and get into the semifinals, which would be historic.

"We need the fans. With our people we are always better.

"Scoring three goals in the first half-hour gave us peace of mind.

"We played a pretty interesting game in the first half hour in terms of being able to put the opponent down a lot and play in their field. That's important after a game in which we weren't able to do so."
