Liverpool continued their dominant Champions League campaign with a 1-0 win over Girona, secured by Mohamed Salah’s second-half penalty.
The victory puts Liverpool on the verge of securing a top-eight finish, which would guarantee a spot in the knockout phase.
The match saw limited chances, but Salah’s clinical penalty was the difference.
After Donny van de Beek fouled Luis Diaz in the box, Salah stepped up with calm precision, sending goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga the wrong way to score his 46th Champions League goal.
At the other end, goalkeeper Alisson Becker played a crucial role in preserving Liverpool’s perfect record in the group stage.
His series of important saves ensured Girona had no opportunity to equalize.
This win keeps Liverpool at the top of the group, and they need just one point from their remaining two matches to confirm a top-eight finish.
Depending on results elsewhere, their qualification could be confirmed earlier.
