Girona see Champions League dreams come to an end as AC Milan secure narrow victory

Girona’s inaugural Champions League run will end in the league phase after a narrow 1-0 defeat to AC Milan at San Siro.

Milan dominated early, with Tijjani Reijnders, Rafael Leao, and Theo Hernandez threatening, but it was Leao who broke the deadlock before halftime after a midfield turnover.

Girona pushed for an equalizer in the second half, with Bryan Gil’s disallowed goal for offside epitomizing their frustrations. Despite late efforts from both sides, Leao’s goal remained decisive.

Girona, now eliminated from knockout contention, will face Arsenal in their final group match before focusing solely on La Liga.

Reflecting on a campaign of missed opportunities, Girona will aim to build on this experience for future European endeavors.
