He is the revelation player of the LaLiga sensation team. Savio scored a goal again in Girona’s 2-1 away victory against Rayo Vallecano and thanks to the victory the Catalans remain as the only leaders, two points above Real Madrid.

The match on date 13 began with a headwind for the leaders, who after five minutes lost 1-0 with Álvaro García’s goal. But the Ukrainian Artem Dovbyk appeared first for the partial tie and at 55 minutes it was Savio, better known as Savinho, who captured a rebound from the goalkeeper to put it into the goal.

Girona collected 34 points out of the 39 that were in dispute and has won five in a row since what was its only defeat in the tournament, on matchday 8 against Real Madrid. Acquired in 2017 by the City Football Group and promoted in 2022, the team is the big surprise thanks to an effective and offensive game.

Savio retired with discomfort before joining the under-23 team

The 19-year-old Brazilian, who already has four goals and four assists in LaLiga, asked for a substitution in the 82nd minute due to muscle discomfort. There was still no official medical report of what could be an ailment typical of the effort of the match, added to the great filming that he has been having this season by becoming a key piece of those led by Michel.
