Lewandowski scores twice, Barcelona explodes in 5-goal La Liga match

Taking the field with a little pressure from arch-rival Real Madrid temporarily catching up in points and competing for the top spot, Barcelona was determined to defeat their annoying neighbors Girona at home at Lluis Companys Stadium in Montjuic.

Girona played extremely defensively to prevent Barcelona from attacking.

Goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga was Girona's best player throughout the first half as he had to continuously show his talent in saving shots against the stormy attacks from Barcelona players.

However, he could not shoulder the responsibility of saving the Girona ship alone forever. In the 43rd minute, Lamine Yamal took a free kick, the ball hit Girona's center-back Ladislav Krejci and changed direction into the net, surprising the entire away team's defense.

Girona unexpectedly equalized 1-1 in the 53rd minute when Daley Blind made a favorable pass for Arnaut Danjuma to break through and shoot into Barcelona's net.

However, that was all Girona could do in this match against their powerful neighboring opponent.

Barcelona got their second goal in the 61st minute when Gavi combined beautifully with Fermin Lopez, who headed the ball into the perfect pass for Robert Lewandowski to score past Girona.
The veteran Polish striker scored his own double in the 77th minute when he finished Barcelona's lightning-fast counter-attack by controlling the ball and finishing neatly, raising the score to 3-1 for the home team.

Barcelona ended their dominance with a fourth goal in the 86th minute when Gerard Martin passed to substitute Ferran Torres to score.

The final score of 4-1 brought Barcelona their 9th consecutive victory in La Liga, helping coach Hansi Flick's team firmly consolidate their position at the top of La Liga while maintaining a 3-point gap over second-placed Real Madrid.

Girona suffered a 1-4 defeat and remained in the bottom half of the rankings.

Robert Lewandowski, with two goals against Girona, has now scored 25 goals in La Liga, helping him maintain his leading position in the race for the "Top Scorer" title. Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe is in second place with 22 goals after 29 rounds.
