[Champions League] Girona does not look like a team capable of defeating Arsenal, who, even without their key players, still pose a real threat.
Girona has been struggling in La Liga throughout the season, and they unexpectedly dropped points last weekend in a dramatic 2-2 draw with Rayo Vallecano, conceding two goals in the final three minutes of the match.
In the Champions League, the Catalan side only managed to defeat Slovan and has been eliminated from the elite tournament. Girona does not resemble the team that was so dominant last season.
Arsenal is battling hard in the Premier League, but their attempts to catch up with Liverpool have not been accompanied by consistent, entertaining performances. Over the weekend, they scraped a narrow 1-0 win over Wolverhampton, thanks to a goal from Calafiori.
Of course, Arsenal’s performances have been impacted by the absence of injured Bukayo Saka. However, a draw with Girona will be enough for the Gunners to progress to the round of 16, which seems like a very achievable task.
