Girona’s maiden Champions League campaign started with a 1-0 loss at Paris Saint-Germain two weeks ago, with goalkee𝓰per Paulo Gazzaniga scoring a late own goal.
On Wednesday, two more own goals, as well as a missed penalty, saw them 💧lose 3-2 to Feyenoord to remain without a point in Europe's premier club competition.
After just two games in the competition, 💫Girona have already equalled the record for the most own goals conceded in a single Champions🥀 League campaign, matching Fenerbahce in 2007-08.
However, Michel's🐲 men had enough chances to take something from the game, a facꦑt that was not lost on Lopez.
"It was a great game for the spectators in which we did everything possible to win. We created chances, we have to keep goinಞg, it's a sham෴e," he told reporters.
"During the match we were receiving small blows that slowed us down. But I am ಌleft with the belief that we did not give up at any time."
Girona may be left with𝓡 a feeling of what might h🍃ave been, having enjoyed a 64% possession share and attempted 13 shots at goal.
Next up in the Champions League, they have a home fixture against Slovan Bratislava, a chance to kick-start their European seaso﷽n.
"In the next match we haꦗve to꧋ keep the three points here no matter what. We have enough quality in the squad to be able to do it," Lopez said.
