Girona, the Spanish newcomers to the Champions League, are looking to pull off an upset when they face off against Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday. Despite a recent LaLiga victory and their maiden European win last month, Girona are facing an uphill battle with a depleted squad due to injuries.
Coach Michel emphasized that his team, despite their fatigue, will be going for points at the Philips Stadion. “We have a lot to win and little to lose,” he said. “We are playing against a historic team with European titles.”
Girona are currently in 24th place in the Champions League table, while PSV sit in 28th. Despite their struggles, PSV have been practically unbeaten at home for two years and pose a significant threat.
Michel stressed the importance of a strong performance and a determined mindset to overcome PSV’s home advantage. “We need to be the ones who dominate and have the ball,” he said. “If we give them control, it will be very difficult for us to keep up the pace and hold them off.”
The match promises to be a thrilling encounter as Girona seeks to secure their first Champions League victory on the road. The match is crucial for both teams as they fight for a place in the knockout stages of the competition.
