Champions League | Misfortune hits Girona again

The demand is tremendous for a Girona that has ambition as its flag after a magnificent 2023-2024 season. For now, the initial stretch of this new season is being really complicated due to how overloaded the calendar is. In any case, he hopes to enhance his performance both in our League and in the Old Continent. In that aspect, the management of his coach Míchel Sánchez seems crucial.

A coach who, surely, was more than satisfied with the image offered by his pupils in their European debut in the PSG fiefdom. That said, they would end up practically twisting their arm on the horn in a very unfortunate action. That is why, as expected, they faced their challenge on the second day of the Champions League with a desire for revenge. In addition, they would have the support of their loyal fans.

Girona | Míchel Sánchez: “The performance is good”

Specifically, the Catalan entity had activated the machinery with the aim of taking the lead at the expense of a historic Eredivisie club. Namely, we are referring to a Feyenoord that was prepared to present a truly level match in the session this Wednesday, October 2. As for Girona, he wanted to recover that lethal version with which he dazzled lovers of this discipline a few months ago.

Errors condemn Girona in Montilivi

The performance of the locals would be very positive, driven by the level of Viktor Tsygankov who really wants to vindicate himself. In fact, this footballer would lead to a very commendable intervention by Timon Wellenreuther as soon as the match began. And what can we say about Iván Martín, who remains a fundamental man in the Girona engine room. A player who is on Athletic Bilbao’s list of future prospects.

The verticality was being great, to which we must also add the contribution of Bryan Gil. Of course, this attacker would be stopped by an imperial David Hancko, a central defender who was a frustrated reinforcement for Atlético de Madrid in the summer market. And after fifteen minutes of play, David López would experience an incredible moment when he scored the first goal in Girona’s history in the Champions League. A blow that would arrive at the exit of a corner kick. However, the response would be immediate in an unfortunate action for Yangel Herrera, who would deflect a shot executed by an active Quinten Timber into the back of the net from his own goal.

Tsygankov would suffer a muscle injury, leaving his place for Arnaut Danjuma, while Antoni Milambo would turn the tables to unleash Dutch euphoria. Immediately afterwards, Paulo Gazzaniga would correct his previous mistake – in the release of the ball – by stopping the maximum penalty taken by Ayase Ueda. Míchel’s fans would respond in the second half, but the target would not be legal due to an illegal position by Donny van de Beek. Bojan Miovski would have a golden chance with a penalty, but Wellenreuther would win the game by guessing his intentions. The one who would not fail would be Van de Beek to sign a draw, but Ladislav Krejci’s own goal would give Feyenoord the three points in Montilivi.
