A late Paulo Gazzaniga own goal denied Champions League debutants Girona a fine point in Paris. Girona, the 14th Spanish club to play in the competition proper, defended well all night and looked well set to keep last season's semi-finalists at bay.

Paris winger Ousmane Dembélé failed to get a shot away when clear on goal and also hit the crossbar from the edge of the penalty area. Substitute Randal Kolo Muani also twice put chances wide before Nuno Mendes' cross-shot went in via goalkeeper Gazzaniga.

Player of the Match: Nuno Mendes (Paris)

Luis Enrique on whether Girona can qualify: "They have a fantastic chance of qualifying. Their idea of playing is very clear, it’s a non-negotiable. What they represent, the ideas, the work of their manager, there’s no doubt they can qualify.”

Luis Enrique on their chances of progress: "Starting with a win is always important, regardless of the competition. We can’t judge or predict how we’ll do, especially given the difficulty of the opponents we face."
