(MENAFN) Liverpool are aiming to extend their five-match winning streak in the UEFA Champions League as they face Spanish side Girona in their group phase week 6 fixture on Tuesday. The Reds, who have already secured a spot in the round of 16, are looking to continue their strong form following a 2-0 victory over real madrid last week.
Liverpool's new head coach, Arne Slot, who joined in July, expressed confidence after the win, saying that beating Real Madrid in the knockout phase would make an even bigger statement. The team has been in excellent form, having won 16 of their last 17 Champions League group or league phase matches.
Girona, the surprise contenders in Spain's LaLiga last season, have had a challenging Champions League campaign, earning just three points from five games. Despite their struggles, Girona head coach Michel remains optimistic, focusing on their crucial remaining fixtures. He stated that their goal is to win at least two of their remaining three games, especially those played at home, to secure progression to the next phase.
The match against Girona presents a great opportunity for Liverpool to maintain their momentum and solidify their position at the top of the group. With their recent successes and confidence, they will look to continue their dominance in the competition.
Girona, however, will not give up without a fight, with Michel emphasizing the importance of turning things around at home to keep their hopes alive for advancing to the knockout stages.
