Girona vs Liverpool
Montilivi will experience another great European afternoon with the visit of a historic Liverpool, leader of the Champions League.
Prepared for a duel of height

After seeing Feyenoord and Slovan Bratislava pass through Montilivi, now it is time to receive the visit of one of the most powerful historical teams of the continent, Liverpool, who also leads the competition with a full of victories in the first five rounds. The English side beat Real Madrid in their last Champions League match at Anfield (2-0), and before that they had won against Leverkusen, Leipzig, Bologna and Milan. All this, conceding just one goal, on the first matchday at San Siro, and scoring as many as twelve. They are also first in the Premier League, four points ahead of second-placed Chelsea, with a game in hand.
Liverpool's own names
This season marks Liverpool's first season after the long and successful Jürgen Klopp era. The challenge was far from easy, but Arnold Slot has taken up the challenge superbly, winning sixteen of his first nineteen games in charge and drawing two. Salah is the team's main point of reference, having already scored twelve goals. He is followed by Luis Diaz with eight in a team with such recognizable names as Alisson in goal, captain Van Dijk at the heart of the defense, Mac Allister in midfield and Diogo Jota in attack. The English team, with a great offensive potential in terms of talent and numbers, have also made the defensive aspect their great strength, being the lowest scorers in the domestic league (11) and in European competition (1).
Míchel: “We have to enjoy and compete giving our best version”
The coach, who since the beginning of the season expressed his desire to face Liverpool, has encouraged the team to compete giving their best version despite the demands of the rival, and at the same time has also encouraged to enjoy a duel that is already historic in itself. Oriol Romeu was in the same vein, who asked for a beautiful and exciting atmosphere to be created in Montilivi for a unique match.
