Although the match at the Montilivi stadium had numerous clear chances for both teams, a penalty was necessary committed by Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek on the Colombian Luis DÃaz and converted by Mohamed Salah in the 63rd minute to break the tie.
For the Catalan team this was their fifth defeat in six dates, and they are still in 30th position (out of 36) with only 3 points, leaving their chances of entering at least in the ‘Top 24’, which qualifies for the playoff of access to eighths.
On the remaining dates, which will be played next January, Arne Slot’s men will host Lille and visit PSV Eindhoven, while Girona will visit AC Milan and will host the Arsenal, in what could be the end of his first European campaign.
