Liverpool Secures Champions League Victory Over Girona

Liverpool maintained their perfect Champions League record with a 1-0 victory over Girona, thanks to a penalty from Mohamed Salah in the 63rd minute. This win marked Liverpool's sixth straight victory in the competition, placing them at the top of the league phase standings with 18 points, five ahead of Inter Milan. Girona, who remain in a struggling 30th position with only three points, made Liverpool work hard for the win, with keeper Alisson making several critical saves to deny their attempts. Despite Liverpool's dominance, they faced a well-organized Girona defense that countered effectively. Salah's penalty was awarded after Luis Diaz was fouled by Donny van de Beek, marking Salah's 16th goal of the season. The win ensures Liverpool's spot in the knockout phase of the tournament, needing just a point from their final two fixtures to secure a top-eight finish.
