Girona captain Cristhian Stuani deserves more than anyone to be in the team for the side's first-ever Champions League game on Wednesday against Paris St Germain, manager Michel said.Sanchez promised the 37-year-old striker that he would give him the captain's armband when they play in the Champions League after he grabbed an injury-time winner against Real Betis in March.

Girona, who had never qualified for Europe's top club competition in their 94-year history, finally secured a place in the Champions League by finishing third in the LaLiga standings last season."Stuani deserves to be in the starting eleven.

He has been wearing this shirt for many years. He deserves it more than anyone," Sanchez told reporters on Tuesday."The reality is that last year we did things spectacularly.

We have arrived at a place that we deserve. We are excited, motivated."It's a dream and you have to enjoy it. The growth of this club is demonstrated by moments like this.
