Barcelona has likely secured a dramatic late victory over Girona, finding the back of the net in the dying moments of stoppage time at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Montjuïc.
Hansi Flick was delighted to have Lamine Yamal back in the lineup, and just 13 minutes into the match, the young talent made his presence felt. He delivered a pass to Pedri in the penalty area, who, after maneuvering away from goal, skillfully curled the ball into the far corner off the post.
However, Barcelona’s lead was short-lived as Girona equalized spectacularly less than ten minutes later. Following a corner, the ball was played back into the box, allowing Axel Witsel to execute a stunning bicycle kick for the goal.
Girona squandered several key opportunities shortly thereafter, and ultimately, they paid the price for their misses. In stoppage time, Frenkie de Jong’s cutback found makeshift striker Ronald Araujo, who converted the chance, igniting jubilant celebrations among the home fans.
