Girona flirted with the possibility of leaving the Parc des Princes unscathed but had to surrender just one step away from the dream in the match that marked the Spaniards’ debut in the Champions League. In the end, Luis Enrique’s Paris Saint-Germain are the ones celebratingwho thanks the visiting goalkeeper Gazzaniga – who had previously made important saves to secure the result – for a blunder on a cross from the left by Nuno Mendes. A mistake that marks the border between a draw and a defeat for his team and that gives the first 3 points of the journey to PSG. Not without some difficulty, for 1-0.
