Girona 0-1 Liverpool
Mohamed Salah has now scored the joint-most penalties for Liverpool in the Champions League, level with Steven Gerrard (six).
No player has been involved in more goals in Europe's big five leagues this season across all competitions than Salah (28 - 16 goals, 12 assists).

Stephen Warnock
Former Premier League defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveNo surprise. Darwin Nunez looks very frustrated as he is going off but he can have no complaints. He hasn't been at his best tonight and his link-up play he has struggled with.
Another frustrating evening for a big Liverpool player.

He stands on his heel hard enough to pull Diaz’s boot off, how can it not be a penalty? It’s a foul anywhere else on the pitch.
Chris
I'm sorry, what was harsh about that penalty? He's stood on the back of his foot and took his boot off. It's stonewall. The check should never have taken that long. Not sure how it could be anything but.

Girona 0-1 Liverpool
Well Girona initially responded well to the Liverpool goal but now seemed to have dropped back, instead looking to prevent the visitors getting a second. They are perhaps conserving energy before a big push in the closing stages.

Long VAR penalty check. Given Unfortunately for Girona they are not playing Wolves.

A win tonight and Liverpool will be all but through to the knockouts. Their progression could be confirmed if results elsewhere go their way later tonight.

Not sure I’ve said this before, but as a Liverpool fan I don’t think that’s a penalty. We’ve not got out of second gear.
Murphy from Bedford
That is much less of a penalty than the one not given to Wolves last night. Yet VAR thought it was bad enough to overturn!

Match Facts
RB Leipzig and Aston Villa have never previously faced each other in Europe. However, the German side have lost each of their last four matches against English sides in the UEFA Champions League, while conceding 14 goals in those four games.
This will be Aston Villa’s first away game against a German opponent in Europe since December 2008, in a 1-3 defeat to Hamburg in the UEFA Cup. Meanwhile, their last one in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League was in October 1981, in a 2-1 victory over Berliner FC Dynamo.
RB Leipzig have lost each of their last five UEFA Champions League matches, all of which have been this season. If they lose here, it will be their longest ever losing streak in the competition, and the longest by a German side overall since Bayer Leverkusen in March 2003 (7).
After winning their first three UEFA Champions League games of 2024-25, Aston Villa have failed to win their last two (D1 L1). The last time Unai Emery failed to win three consecutive group/league phase games with a single club in the competition was in September-November 2015 with Sevilla (4).
German teams have lost all three of their matches against English sides in the UEFA Champions League this season, all without scoring a goal: Aston Villa 1-0 Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig 0-1 Liverpool and Liverpool 4-0 Bayer Leverkusen.
RB Leipzig have averaged 386 high-intensity pressures per game in the UEFA Champions League this season; the second-most of any team in the tournament, only behind Sturm Graz (392.4). Meanwhile, Aston Villa rank 33rd out of 36 teams for high-intensity pressures per game in the competition this term (265.8).
Aston Villa are the team with the highest percentage of their total passes being line-breaking passes in the UEFA Champions League this season (15.9%). Indeed, only two sides have made more line-breaking passes from their own half than Villa (211) this term: Bayer Leverkusen (241) and Juventus (216).
Jhon Durán is Aston Villa’s top scorer in the UEFA Champions League this season (two goals), while no player has attempted more shots for them (9). This is despite the Colombian only being on the pitch for 35% of Villa’s match time in the competition this season (159/450).
Benjamin Sesko has scored three of RB Leipzig’s four goals in the UEFA Champions League this season. Among teams to have netted more than once, Sesko has accounted for a higher percentage of his team’s goals than any other player in 2024-25 (75%).
Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers is one of only five players to have completed 10+ dribbles (18) and created 10+ chances from open play (10) in the UEFA Champions League this season, along with Vinícius Júnior, Florian Wirtz, Savinho, and Johan Bakayoko.
