It will be Girona vs Liverpool F.C. in the first meeting between the two sides, so we have taken a look at some key stats before their Champions League meeting on Tuesday.
Girona vs Liverpool Stats Ahead Of Tuesday’s 5:45pm Clash
Liverpool will play Spanish side Girona for the first time in one of the early Champions League kick-offs on Tuesday evening.
Arne Slot’s side go into the game on the back of winning all five of their games in the competition so far. They lead the League Phase and have been given the luxury of extra days to rest for the game after the Merseyside Derby with Everton was postponed due to Storm Darragh.
Girona are finding things tougher after finishing third in LaLiga last season. Their 3-0 loss to Real Madrid on Saturday leaves them ninth in LaLiga – 16 points off leaders Barcelona.
They are also at risk of elimination from the Champions League as they currently sit 30th – six places off the play-off positions.
Girona could take some optimism however from Liverpool’s struggles when it comes to playing in Spain.

Mohamed Salah One Goal Away From Landmark Number
It is not just in the Premier League where Mohamed Salah has been shooting up the scoring charts.
He is just a goal away from the total of 50 in his Champions League career – 43 of which have come with Liverpool.
Discounting Champions League qualifying rounds, he has scored 45 – one behind Erling Haaland, Eusebio and Fillipo Inzaghi.
Meanwhile, a brace against Girona would put him joint fourth on Liverpool’s all-time goalscoring list alongside Billy Liddell (228).
