Barcelona seems to have solved the Catalan derby against Girona, despite a nervy period in the second half. Robert Lewandowski has proven the difference so far.
After a dominant first half, in which Barcelona created opportunities but struggled to finish them, they got their nose in the front with a deflected free kick from Lamine Yamal. However, Girona quickly came out in the second half, and not long after the break brought things through Arnaut Danjuma.
Barcelona renewed their attacking efforts and then threatened by Eric Garcia and Jules Kounde, but it was Lewandowski who offered the Go-Ahead goal an excellent improvised effort. Frenkie de Jong had started the game on the couch due to an ankle problem during the week, but with fresh legs offered an excellent assist for Lewandowski. The Polish veteran responed to Kylian Mbappe drawing within one of the Pichichi race with his own brace, which brought his 25th League goal forward.
