“It’s a dream for us” – Girona coach Michel Sanchez looks ahead to Montilivi’s Champions League debut

Girona goes into the Champions League on Wednesday. They were narrowly beaten by Paris Saint-Germain on their competitive debut two weeks ago and will be hoping they can bounce back against Feyenoord.

It will be the first ever Champions League game in Montilivi and it promises to be a spectacular event. Girona head coach Michel Sanchez commented on the occasion while speaking to the media on Tuesday (via Marca).

“For us it is a dream to play in the Champions League and even more to make it to Montilivi. I find it sad that the field cannot be full, because we need everyone and those who are always with us should be here. We want to do well, we have to do our best because only then do we have a chance of winning.”

Michel also admitted he has very little to do to motivate his Girona players ahead of Wednesday's game.

“When you take part in a competition like the Champions League, you don’t have to motivate the players. The move from the Champions League to La Liga worries me more so we can focus on what we need to do.

“We are on the rise, I don't look at the result, but at the performance. We have to finish games and generate more, but the team is ready. The fact of hearing the Champions League anthem in Montilivi is something historic and the motivation is special.”
