GIRONA, Spain (Reuters) - Girona goalscorer Juanpe said it was a dream come true as the Spanish side finally managed to get three points on the board in their maiden Champions League campaign with a 2-0 home win against Slovan Bratislava on Tuesday.

After losing their first two games in the competition, Miguel Gutierrez gave them the lead in the first half before Juanpe's superbly struck free kick took a slight deflection off the wall before sailing into the net to secure his side's first win in Europe.
