Girona vs barcelona

FULL-TIME, Girona 0-1 Barcelona: The worst performance of Barça’s season so far and they should have conceded a late equalizer, but they’ve somehow managed to escape a tough, physical Catalan Derby with a win to go six points clear at the top of the table.

GOAL!!! Girona 0-1 Barcelona (Pedri 61’): BARÇA TAKE THE LEAD! Barça win the ball high up the pitch, Ansu Fati finds Jordi Alba and his low cross accross the line is deflected by goalkeeper Gazzaniga and falls to Pedri who taps it in! SECOND HALF KICKOFF! Girona 0-0 Barcelona: Back underway at the Montilivi! HALFTIME, Girona 0-0 Barcelona: Without a doubt the worst 45 minutes of Barcelona’s season so far.

Here’s hoping for a better second half. KICKOFF! Girona 0-0 Barcelona: And we’re underway at the Montilivi! WELCOME TO THE ESTADI MONTILIVI!!! The cozy home of Girona in Catalonia is the site of an important La Liga clash between the hosts and Barcelona, who come into this one looking to g...

Including the penalty shootout victory over Real Betis in the Spanish Super Cup, Barça have won every game they’ve played so far in 2023 and currently have a trophy, are three points clear at the top of the league table and are just two games away from another Cup final. It’s been a very productive month results wise, but the performances have been very inconsistent.
