The Uruguayan is having another fantastic season and started the month of October on the same note as he had finished September. He scored a brace against SD Eibar at home, however, it was not enough as Girona slumped to a 2-3 loss. Stuani started from the bench in the away game against Real Sociedad and played just 18 minutes, coming on at the 72nd minutes amid injury concerns. He could not find the back of the net in the game.

It was soon confirmed that Stuani would be out for approximately 9 days due to Adductor problems. This meant that the Uruguayan had to sit out in the game against Rayo Vallecano. The Uruguayan is still a doubt when Girona got to visit Valencia this weekend, and with the start he has had, he will be cursing his luck.
However, Cristhian Stuani still has 8 goals from 9 games so far this season and at the start of November, he is the top contender for the La Liga Golden Boot.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
