And Michel has revealed that he hopes his side can face Liverpool at Anfield in the competition. Via AS, he said: “We are going to enjoy this, the Champions League. All praise always falls short. The players have entered history. What we have done this year is incredible, it is historic. We will have four days to continue doing things. I don't know whether to say it, but the next dream, challenge and step is to win a title with Girona.
“A rather difficult challenge, but possible. We are going to play the Champions League to be able to lift it and we will also have the cup and the league. We will be closer to a title.
“At Rayo (Vallecano, his former club) there was a lot of singing: 'next year Rayo-Liverpool'. I want to play for Liverpool. I hope there is some history out there, there are many. See if it's Bayern Munich, Milan, Inter. I want to go to Anfield and I order Inter, Bayern Munich at home so that people can enjoy. I also like the Borussia Dortmund Wall, another team to go to.”
