Liverpool edge Girona to maintain perfect Champions League run

Liverpool extended their flawless Champions League campaign with a 1-0 win over Girona, thanks to Mohamed Salah’s second-half penalty.

The Reds returning no. 1 goalkeeper Alisson Becker also had a stellar performance to keep Liverpool’s clean sheet.

The Reds endured a challenging first half, with Girona’s Bryan Gil and Arnaut Danjuma testing the Liverpool defense.

Alisson, back from injury made several crucial saves to keep Michel’s spirited side at bay.

The game turned after the break when VAR intervened, awarding Liverpool a penalty for Donny van de Beek’s clumsy challenge on Luis Diaz.

Salah stepped up and coolly converted, sending Paulo Gazzaniga the wrong way to secure the win.

Arne Slot’s team now sits comfortably atop their group, with six wins from six matches.
