Barça runs over to Girona with a new recital

Who saw Barça last year and whoever sees Girona now will think they are two completely different teams. The first now enjoy. The latter, those who won 2-4 in Montjuïc and 4-2 in Montilivi, suffer. The Girona of Míchel is no longer the revelation team played by the Champions League. They have become unknown neighbors. Instead, Barça de Flick does not stop growing. Winning by conviction and abrasion. Dreaming of all titles. Marking in all possible ways. With a double of Lewandowski, leader of the leaders. And with the goals of Ferran Torres and Krejci on his own, although the goal takes the Lamine Yamal seal, they sank a dwarfed Girona.

They must reflect those of Míchel. Because when the best of a team is the goalkeeper is that something is going wrong. If it weren’t for Gazzaniga, brilliant in the first half, Barça’s destruction could have been much greater. Instead, only Danjuma was able to beat Szczesny in a goal that put the draw and that, at times, established a certain emotion.

Danjuma tied the goal in Krejci’s own

Because Barça is another. It is a team that, managed by Flick, comes out and enjoys. The German looked for fresh legs for the ‘Tourmalet that comes. And managed to script a virtually perfect Blaugrana monologue from beginning to end. Reserving Cubarsí, betting on Araújo and placing Gerard Martín on the left side. He transferred Eric Garcia to the midfielder with the incombustible Pedri and left Raphinha on the bench to cure his international efforts. In the place of the Brazilian, the versatile Gavi came out, fierying as a false left end. Combining with Fermín, always well located in the medium. Both Canteanos, Essence of the Masia, drawn the first occasion of Barça. In a corner kick, Gavi delayed a ball for his friend to finish it. But Kreijci avoided it.

Lewandowski scored his 25 goal in LaLiga, his best record since he arrived in Barcelona, ​​and his thirty -eighth in the season

Here came the first and only incursion of Girona. Asprilla, who had not started two months, was launched by the left wing surpassing Gerard Martín. The side is a good resource that, although it is gaining speed and trade, must still finish fogging. He took advantage of that little Asprilla experience to focus a ball for Tsygankov. Luckily, the ball ended in the sky of a Montjuïc stadium with an audience that enjoyed the sun and Lamine Yamal. The weapon, not so secret from Barça, recovered the ball and started a very good collective play by the right wing. Combining with Koundé. And this with Lewandowski. A determined Gazzaniga appeared, who cleared the ball for the first time. There was Fermín, who with a chut from outside the area put the goalkeeper again. Gazzaniga snorted twice seeing Lamine Yamal leaving Miguel. And grew with another stretched impossible to stop the header of Araújo.

Meanwhile, Barca storm, the controversial ingredient of the day was missing. And he arrived when Asprilla, desperate with Fermín, knocked down the canterano at the vertex of the semicircle of the area. The VAR denied the maximum penalty. And pointed out that it was a lack of Fermín due to a slight impact before the foot of Asprilla. The first half ended in the most absurd way. Koundé scored offside after a good pass from Fermín and Girona fit the first in his own. Half goal is from Lamine Yamal, which finished off a side foul and that had the help of Krejci’s hand.

But the results must be ensured. And Girona wanted first that the second part was more a dialogue than a monologue. He got it for a second. A bad exit from Araújo’s ball enabled Danjuma, which left Montjuïc silent when he finished off a shield center to put the tie. Míchel took the opportunity to sit asprilla and called Portu to try to cover Lamine Yamal.

But he forgot about Lewandowski. Professional latent of the area. Always differential. The play was a show. It was initiated by Gerard Martín for his left wing, looking for Gavi who focused a ball to the second stick. There was, of course, Fermín. That the ball headed for Lewandowski, as if it were a karateka, beat Gazzaniga. Flick shook the bench. He entered from Jong, another recovered footballer for the cause. The Dutch began a counterattack, turned and offered the ball so that the Polish scored with the right of Barça. Ferran Torres joined the party, a perfect revulsion that scored 4-1 in a play entering from the second line. Eric Garcia and Lamine Yamal ran into two sticks. They ended up hugging. A symptom of the good moment of a team that continues to add points and discount matches in an undisputed league.
