The Reds arrived in the northern Spanish city knowing that a triumph by two goals or more was needed if we were to finish top of the standings after the sixth and final matchday.
Alejandro Garnacho’s first-half goal provided the Reds with hope of fulfilling that ambition, but the home side held firm and maintained their position at the summit of the group.

MIXED FEELINGS
It’s a third win from three away matches in Europe this season, but the one goal was unfortunately not enough to fulfil the Reds’ ultimate goal of topping the group in San Sebastian.
