Liverpool saved their good begin to the Champions League marketing campaign going with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Girona on Tuesday.
A energetic affair noticed each side flying ahead at each alternative, with goalkeepers Alisson and Paulo Gazzaniga usually taking centre-stage at both finish of the pitch, however Liverpool edged themselves forward on the hour mark when Mohamed Salah banished reminiscences of his penalty miss towards Actual Madrid by sending the Girona stopper the incorrect approach from 12 yards.
Girona rejected the underdog tag as they went toe-to-toe with the Premier League leaders for big components of this recreation. Former Everton winger Arnaut Danjuma was a big menace, as was younger left-back Miguel Gutierrez, whose efficiency could have undoubtedly caught the attention of his many wealthy suitors.
