Late heartbreak for Girona in Champions League debut as Paris Saint-Germain snatch victory

Girona made their Champions League debut on Wednesday, and it's been an incredibly tough start to life in European football's biggest competition – a late goal for Paris Saint-Germain ensured a 1-0 defeat for the Catalans.

PSG dominated the first half, with Girona unable to muster even a single shot in the first 45 minutes. However, they also gave up very little, with a strong defense limiting the hosts' opportunities.

In the second period, and PSG increased the pressure. Ousmane Dembele should have scored, but an incredible last-ditch challenge from Ladislav Krejci – making his first start for Girona – stopped a certain goal. Paulo Gazzaniga also made great saves but went from hero to villain in the dying stages.

PSG's winner came in the 90th minute. A driving run from Nuno Mendes saw him reach the line, and his rather poor effort somehow went past Gazzaniga and into the back of the Girona net.

A desperate result for Geronabut a result they can be proud of. They return to League action this weekend, with their next Champions League game at home to Feyenoord in two weeks.
