Nuno Mendes celebrates his goal against Girona in the Champions League, September 18, 2024 (FRANCK FIFE / AFP)

How tough it was. Paris Saint-Germain had to push until the end to get the better of Girona (1-0) for their entry into the 2024-25 Champions League, Wednesday, September 18. Faced with the surprise of the last Liga season, stripped of most of its best players in the summer, and totally inexperienced in C1, Luis Enrique’s players believed for a long time that their domination would never be rewarded.
