La Liga, Barcelona – Girona 2-4: Barcelona’s “double” message headline

Why doesn’t this team win the championship in Spain? The amazing Girona put on another footballing display, “swallowing” Barcelona in Barcelona (4-2), defeating them for the first time in their history, leaving them seven points behind and rising alone to the top of the Spanish League, +2 ahead of Real Madrid. Madrid, while 16 matches have already been played.

Steadily without Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Gavi, Xavi repeated the same formation in the match against Atletico Madrid, keeping Joao Cancelo firmly on the left side of the defence. Without outstanding midfielder Yangel Herrera at his disposal, Mitchell opted for a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Eric Garcia, on loan from Barta, as one of three central defenders.

Girona is higher and more effective
The visitors entered unchallenged, and after David Lopez warned them of a scissors shot wide of goal and Viktor Zhigankov’s shot from outside the area was blocked by Inaki Peña, witnessed the home side’s (relatively) reaction.

In the twelfth minute, Girona’s Ukrainian duo “launched” a counterattack. An excellent header from Ivan Martin to Zhigankov, the latter then turned on Artem Dovpik and from close range the former Dnipro striker had no problem opening the scoring. The Blaugrana tried to respond immediately, and after threatening Joao Felix, they equalized quickly (19′) with a header by Robert Lewandowski after a corner kick from Rafinha.

The Polish goal did not deter Mitchell’s stunning team, who equalized the score at 1-2 on two occasions against Miguel Gutierrez, the Real Madrid youth, whose third goal was also lucky (40th), after not facing any resistance, he entered the penalty area and shot a powerful shot. A powerful shot defeated Iñaki Peña.

Partisanship and historic quartet!

In the second half, Barcelona tried to respond and threaten Paulo Gazzaniga’s goal, but to no avail, as all their efforts went wide of the goal or over the visiting team’s goalkeeper, with the exception of a shot from Ilkay Gedogan.

Girona, so great, waited for its chance and found it in the 1980s to achieve one of the biggest victories in its history. Cristian Stuani shoots the ball high into the penalty area, Valéri Fernandez cleverly takes it in response to a challenge from Gilles Cote and scores it into the net to make the score 1-3.

The hosts tried to respond, and they pulled a goal back from Jintogan in the 92nd minute, but it was too late. And to top it all off, Girona scored the fourth goal three minutes later from Stuani’s shot from close range, securing their first ever win over Barcelona and confirming that they are not joking this year…
