In the early morning of October 3, Beijing time, in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Girona hosted Feyenoord, which was originally a great opportunity for them to grab points, but unfortunately this dark horse team that shone in La Liga last season was buried in a good game, and was finally reversed 2-3 and missed the first win in the Champions League.
In the first round, Girona was beaten away by Grand Paris, and the Champions League ushered in a black start. In this game, they returned to their home stadium against Eredivisie giants Feyenoord. Girona once scored the first goal in this game, but unfortunately it was reversed by the opponent in the end. What's worse is that Girona conceded 3 goals in this game, 2 were own goals, and 1 was their own passing error, which is indeed too tragic.
In the first half, Girona seized a corner kick opportunity and scored from Lopes in front of the goal, which was also Girona's first goal in the history of the Champions League. However, the good times did not last long, and in just 10 minutes, Girona conceded two goals in a row and was overtaken by the opponent 1-2.
In the 23rd minute, Feyenoord drove a set-piece into the box, only for Herrera to return to the defense and unfortunately scored an own goal. In the 33rd minute, Girona's pass from the back was intercepted by Feyenoord players, and then the visitors counter-attacked on the spot, and Milanbo finally pushed the ball to give Feyenoord the lead.
In the second half, Girona managed to flank Donny van de Beek in front of goal, and finally fired a shot that bounced off the ground and flew into the net to give the home team a 2-2 equaliser. Unfortunately, a few minutes later, the home team scored another own goal, and in the end it was reversed 2-3, and even a point could not be earned.
This season, Girona participated in the Champions League for the first time in history, and as a result, this La Liga powerhouse suffered one blow after another. Now that the first two rounds have been played, Girona has lost all two games, and they are also the worst team in the Champions League among the four La Liga teams.
Next, although Girona still has 6 games, but their last 3 games, they have to play Liverpool, AC Milan and Arsenal three giants in succession, in the case of urgent need to grab points to ensure the top eight, these teams will definitely not release Girona.
This season, the Champions League group stage is a collective ranking of 36 teams, so the big teams are extra cautious, and no one dares to guarantee that they will lock up the top eight until the final round of games. You know, after the first round, Bayern was ranked first for a while, but lost 0-1 away to Villa in the second round, and their ranking has fallen to 15th. This shows how fierce the competition is in the Champions League. In such a situation, Girona is ranked 30th with 0 points in 2 games, and they are already in a desperate situation, plus they have to play against a number of giant teams, Girona wants to qualify this season, and there is basically no hope!
