Girona, who were last year's surprise package of the LaLiga season going toe-to-toe with Real Madrid in the title battle and beating Barcelona twice before finishing third, were also drawn to face PSV Eindhoven, Feyenoord, Slovan Bratislava and Sturm Graz. "The players have a lot of maturity and are facing it very naturally, focused on the present, which was the game that we had to play today.
Michel praised his players' resilience in recovering from a humbling 3-0 loss to Atletico Madrid on Sunday with a"perfect" game against Osasuna on Thursday.
