Barca 4-1 Girona: Lewandowski is far ahead of Mbappe

At home, Barcelona completely dominated the game. The drama was heightened from the very first minutes, when "Blaugrana" was denied a penalty, after Fermin Lopez was pushed down right at the 16.5m line.

After that, coach Hansi Flick's team maintained suffocating pressure on the visitors' defense. Gaps continuously opened up but Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, Ronald Araujo could not overcome the defenders' dedication and the excellent reflexes of goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga.

In the 39th minute, the ball was put into the net after a decisive shot by Jules Kounde. However, the home team's goal was disallowed by VAR due to an offside. The home fans did not have to regret for long because just 5 minutes later, the opening goal came. From a free kick on the right wing, Yamal fired a shot that hit Ladislav Krejci and changed direction into the net.

Barca dominated the first half.

The surprise happened right at the beginning of the second half. Starting from a bad pass from Ronald Araujo in the 53rd minute, Girona organized a counter-attack. Arnaut Danjuma quickly escaped, before coldly finishing with the inside of his right foot, defeating Wojciech Szczesny.

The equalizer 1-1 came to Girona with the only shot on target since the start of the match. On the other hand, Barca had 13 chances but only scored 1 goal.

The away fans' joy only lasted for eight minutes. After many missed opportunities in the first half, Lewandowski made his mark with a close-range finish that sent the ball through the away goalkeeper's legs.

In the 67th minute, Frenkie De Jong was brought on. The Dutch midfielder soon left his mark with an assist for Lewandowksi to decisively finish, raising the score to 3-1 for the home team. Lewy scored his 25th goal in La Liga, 3 more than Kylian Mbappe.

The third goal destroyed Girona's fighting spirit. In the 86th minute, the away team continued to concede a goal after dribbling and shooting low with their left foot, giving the goalkeeper no chance to block.

Barcelona is in the lead in the title race. If they win 3 points at home in this match, Yamal and his teammates will create a 3-point gap with Real Madrid. In addition, "Blaugrana" is better than their Madrid rivals in terms of head-to-head record. This is an index that is calculated only after points.
