Here's how Barca fans have reacted on social media following their team's hard-fought win against Girona.
Barcelona continued their impressive form in LaLiga on Saturday, January 28, 2023 after they edged out Girona at the Estadi Montilivi.
Pedri scored on his 100th appearance for the Blaugrana to give FC Barcelona a 1-0 win over Girona in the Catalan Derby.
Girona defended really deep for most of the encounter, allowing Barcelona to have the majority of the possession but forcing them to play side-to-side with minimal penetration and offering no real threat in the final third.
Barcelona's best chance in the first half came after 28 minutes as Girona tried to play out from the back.

Ansu Fati who continued to replace the suspended Lewandowski in attack was on hand to pounce onto a loose ball before firing his effort well over.
Second Half
Xavi's team came out for the second half looking to move the ball a lot quicker and with more purpose after what was a fairly boring first 45 minutes.
And the visitors finally broke the deadlock in the 61st minute.
Ansu Fati played a great ball out to the left for Jordi Alba who fired a ball in across the face of goal which goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga failed to deal with and Pedri was only there to just tap home at the far post in his 100th appearance.

Following the goal, Girona responded brilliantly, having their best spell of possession of the match shortly after and creating chances.
They moved the ball much quicker into the wide areas and fired in a succession of crosses which the Barcelona defence dealt with pretty well.
Girona continued to push for the leveller as the game progressed but to no avail.
In the end, Barcelona managed to see out the victory away from home, making it eight consecutive victories across all competitions as they moved six point clear of rivals and defending champions Real Madrid in second place, with Los Blancos scheduled to face Real Sociedad on Sunday, January 27, 2023 in LaLiga.
