Despite initial resistance from Girona, Barcelona broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute thanks to an own goal by Ladislav Krejci. Girona quickly responded in the second half with Arnaut Danjuma scoring in the 53rd minute. However, Barcelona swiftly regained control. Lewandowski scored his first goal just eight minutes after Girona`s equalizer and added another in the 77th minute. Ferran Torres sealed the win with a final goal.
Robert Lewandowski was the standout player of the match. His two goals were a testament to his effectiveness, taking six shots with four on target and contributing significantly to Barcelona`s expected goals. His performance reflects his strong form this season.
This victory solidifies Barcelona`s position at the top of La Liga for another week, maintaining a three-point lead over Real Madrid and a nine-point lead over Atletico Madrid.
Looking ahead, Barcelona will play against Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey semifinals and will continue their La Liga campaign against Real Betis before their Champions League quarterfinal match against Borussia Dortmund.
