Key match details
Barcelona started assertively but struggled to convert dominance into goals in the first half. The visitors had the better of the chances, with Raphinha striking the post and Lamine Yamal missing a penalty just before the break after a foul on Dani Olmo in the box.
Hansi Flick’s side eventually broke the deadlock in the 59th minute when Pau Cubarsí rose highest to head home Jules Koundé’s cross, giving Barcelona a deserved lead.
Girona responded almost immediately. Thomas Lemar got on the end of a cutback from Vladyslav Vanat and tapped in from close range to level the score at 1–1, energising the home crowd and changing the momentum of the match.
The decisive moment came in the 87th minute, when Fran Beltrán steered a composed finish past the Barcelona keeper from Joel Roca’s assist to make it 2–1.
Barcelona chased an equaliser in the closing minutes, but Girona’s defence held firm, and despite late pressure and even a red card to Joel Roca in added time, the hosts saw out the win.
