Girona's triumph over Barcelona, their second this season, in a 4-2 victory at Montilivi stadium, has propelled them into second place in La Liga. This win secures their Champions League qualification and hands Real Madrid the Spanish championship. Carlo Ancelotti's side had earlier secured victory against Cadiz, paving the way for Madrid to clinch the top spot. Despite Barcelona initially looking poised for victory with goals from Christensen and Lewandowski, Girona's second-half resurgence, and impactful performance off the bench, turned the tide of the match. Portu's brace and assist sealed an absorbing encounter between the Catalan rivals. Despite Barcelona boasting a higher expected goal than Girona's the victory ultimately belonged to Girona. Looking ahead, Girona aims to gain their position with a win against Alaves in their next fixture. At the same time, Barcelona, under Xavi's leadership, must regroup for their upcoming clash with Real Sociedad. The match showcased the intense competition in La Liga and highlighted Girona's determination to secure a top position, while Barcelona faces the challenge of bouncing back from this setback. Do you think Barca will come back?
