Michel believes Girona's LaLiga match against Leganes should not have been played following flash floods that have devastated parts of eastern Spain.
Girona won a thrilling contest 4-3 on Saturday.
However, the match came after several days of flooding that has left over 200 people dead, with dozens unaccounted for.
Barcelona boss Hansi Flick and Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone earlier criticised the decision to hold most of the LaLiga matches this weekend, a sentiment echoed by Michel.
"We shouldn't celebrate anything since this match shouldn't have been played," the Girona boss said.
"Taking three points after the physical and mental toll of playing in different competitions and travelling, the team gives everything, and that's very positive."
Girona's Miguel Gutierrez, who opened the scoring, marked the goal by holding up a shirt that read: 'This is for you, Henry. Go Valencia'.
"The first shirt I lifted was for my friend Enrique, whose mother is missing. She was swept away by the current, and they’re still trying to find her," he said.
The 23-year-old said the past few days had been emotional.
"I believe the match takes a backseat. Aside from Madrid, the city I've spent the most time in where I have the most friends and connections is Valencia," Gutierrez said.
"I can assure you that I’ve seen videos and been on video calls with friends and it’s a complete disaster, an absolute nightmare."
Focusing on the match, Michel acknowledged the defensive performance was not good enough from his team, who conceded only eight shots, though five of those were on target, with Leganes scoring three goals from an expected goals (xG) of just 0.4.
"We competed well; the first half was very good, but we conceded two goals from situations we could have defended better," he said.
"Even though I wanted to make changes to bring in the young players at 4-2, the 4-3 score complicated things. It was a tough situation for them. As coaches, we want to control the game more, but it turned out this way."

Guardiola 'so proud' of Man City despite Palace draw
Pep Guardiola saluted Manchester City's fight and insisted he is "so proud of the team", despite them dropping more points in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
City were forced to come from behind in each half at Selhurst Park, where Erling Haaland and Rico Lewis cancelled out efforts from Daniel Munoz and Maxence Lacroix.
The reigning Premier League champions are now winless in their last four away games, while they have won just one of their last nine matches in all competitions.
City sit fourth in the table and eight points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand after their scheduled Merseyside Derby against Everton was postponed due to adverse weather conditions.
Nevertheless, Guardiola paid tribute to his players.
Assessing the performance, he said: "Really good. So proud of the team. I liked everything about the team, how we fought. We have a lot of problems with our squad.
"We fought incredibly. We came back twice. It's a difficult place to come. We struggled in the beginning. We gave everything, and we take a point.
"We started the second half a bit sloppy. After [going 2-1 down], we reacted well."
However, Bernardo Silva could not hide his frustration at City's recent poor form.
"With Man City it's always two points lost," he told BBC Sport. "One point is better than zero, but we're not happy at the moment. We know our situation with injuries.
"Coming to Crystal Palace is never easy, but we have to do better. When I finish a game and I get a point, I'm not happy. It's not the way we built this team, it's not our standard.
"We have to do better, we have to react better to the second balls. We have to give them less opportunities from set-pieces.
"We're in December. We'd like to be in a different position. The last month-and-a-half has not been good enough."
Meanwhile, Palace moved up to 16th after extending their unbeaten run to four matches, and Oliver Glasner felt the Eagles were unfortunate not to take maximum points.
"We are pleased with the point and many parts of the performance," he said. "It feels like if we'd performed at our best level, we could have won the game.
"An unbeaten week with draws against Newcastle and Manchester City, everything is fine. We want to improve and get better in some situations, and we could win those games.
"After having the lead twice, especially after 2-1, we got too passive. It's not that easy against City, it's not a criticism of the players, but when you're in your own third, it's a matter of time. A gap of one yard, they find it with one or two touches.
"The players are in a very good situation and shape. We have more and more options. The results give us confidence."
Real Betis 2-2 Barcelona: Stoppage-time goal denies hosts victory
LaLiga leaders Barcelona continued their sticky run of form with a 2-2 draw away to Real Betis on Saturday, having conceded a stoppage-time equaliser from Assane Diao to drop two points.
Diao's goal gave Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini something to celebrate in his 500th LaLiga match as manager, but opens the door for second-placed Real Madrid, who are five points behind Barcelona with two games in hand.
Hansi Flick's side opened the scoring in the 39th minute with a neat attacking move that was created by Lamine Yamal and finished by Robert Lewandowski.
Betis came into the contest more in the second half and were able to level things through a Giovani Lo Celso penalty, but Yamal once again thwarted the hosts by setting up substitute Ferran Torres to score in the 82nd minute.
Barcelona had looked on course to extend their lead at the top of the table before Diao's cheeky backheel flick meant that the points would be shared.
The draw means that Barcelona have now won just one of their last five league games.
Data debrief: Red-hot Lewandowski not enough to claim a win
Lewandowski opened the scoring with his 23rd goal in 21 matches in all competitions this season, which was also his 16th in LaLiga.
The 36-year-old is five goals clear at the top of the Golden Boot standings, with Barcelona captain Raphinha in second.
The striker is now just five goals short of his total in all competitions last season.
