Girona defeated Barcelona twice in La Liga last season. They threatened to beat the Catalan team once again before meeting this season. But this time it is the opposite. Girona was burned by the fire of Barcelona’s revenge. Hansi Flick’s side won 4-1 thanks to Lamine Yamal’s skill.
In this match, Lamine Yamal recognized himself once again. This teenager who played a big role in Spain winning the Euro scored a couple of goals in the whole match. His other two national team teammates Pedri and Dani Olmo scored one goal each.
On Sunday (September 15), Barcelona started playing with power from the beginning of the match in the opponent’s field. They made their first attack on Girona’s fortress in the sixth minute of the match. Yamal was frustrated by Girona goalkeeper Paolo Gassaniga.
Then attack-counter-attack, getting out of the ticking rhythm, Barcelona shook Girona with fast football. Barcelona took the lead in the 30th minute with a continuation of the attack. Yamal snatched the ball after running into David Lopez’s whimper in the D-box. Then the Barcelona star found the net with a cool head.
Barcelona got excited after getting the goal. Yamal was fastidious. The young man doubled the lead six minutes later. Rafinia’s free kick ball in the D-box was touched by Robert Lewandowski and Yamal got the ball. He ran and scored the goal with a bullet speed shot. The Girona goalkeeper had no chance to see this ball.
Leading by two goals at the break, Barcelona increased the gap at the start of the second half. In the 47th minute, Olmo found the net with a bullet speed shot from a difficult angle after controlling Jules Kunde’s through ball.
Then Pedri made the scoreline 4-0 in the 64th minute. The Spanish youngster just dazzled the dribbling after getting a pass from Mark Casado’s excellent defense into the D-box. The midfielder beat the goalkeeper and found the net with a corner shot.
Girona scored the only goal in the 80th minute of the match. After seeing a red card in the 86th minute, Barcelona became a team of 10 when Tares left the field. Girona could not take advantage of having one more man. As a result, Barcelona, which is undefeated this season, leaves the field with three points.
With this, Barcelona is at the top of La Liga with 15 points in five consecutive wins. Real Madrid and Villarreal are in the next two places with 11 points each. However, they have played one less match each.
