Girona has only achieved one victory in its first five games in the league phase of this season’s Champions League, so it is necessary to pick up points in the remaining three games if it wants to qualify for the knockout stages. However, that is starting to look less and less likely as they have fallen behind to Liverpool on matchday six.
Daley Blind had a golden opportunity to score for Girona in the first half and now they have made him pay. Donny van de Beek fouled Luiz Díaz inside the penalty area, and that allowed Mohamed Salah to score the first goal from 12 meters.

It will now be very difficult for Girona to achieve anything in this match, given that Liverpool have been in excellent form this season. Michel Sánchez’s team is obliged to continue forward until the end of the match, although that may not be enough to secure something in this match.
