David Lopez leads Girona’s match against Slovan Bratislava

He Girona will not be able to lose this Tuesday evening (21:00) against Slovan Bratislava. Michel has already warned that “the classification tells us that we must win no matter what.” There is no other choice, namely that having started the Champions League with two defeats (to PSG and Feyenoord), the red and white will have no choice but to add their first points in this competition, because if they this will not be achieved, the classification as the next phase begins to change, taking this into account, will be a chimera. The opponents they still have to face are PSV, Sturm Graz, Liverpool, Milan and Arsenal.

But “game by game”. Despite the accumulation of losses (nine wounded and one Mizeui unable to play due to map B), there is a curiosity worth holding on to. And this is due to one of the few healthy players that Michel has left: David Lopez. The defender holds a burning nail, and that’s it. You already know what it’s like to beat Slovan Bratislava. Their paths crossed in the 2014/15 season in the group stage of the Europa League, and now the winner was the Girona player.

History seems to haunt David Lopez. Thanks to his goal against Feyenoord, he has already become Girona’s top scorer in the Champions League. And now he can lead the red and white to their first victory. It would be enough for him to follow the path already taken, because in the 2014-15 season David Lopez played for Napoli. In the group stage of the Europa League, one of the opponents was Slovan Bratislava and The match ended with a score of 0:2 in favor of the Italian team thanks to goals from Hamsik and Higuain. David Lopez knows the way. Now it is his turn to lead Girona and thereby make the history of the red and white club even greater. These will be the first points in the Champions League.
