"An end-to-end opening saw both sides squander glorious chances, but it was Barcelona who were given the biggest opportunity to take the lead in first-half stoppage time. Dani Olmo was felled by Daley Blind in the penalty area, with Lamine Yamal assuming responsibility of the spot-kick. However, he saw his strike cannon off the right post. But the Blaugrana got themselves in front in the 59th minute when Jules Kounde's teasing delivery into the box was brilliantly headed past Paulo Gazzaniga by Cubarsi."
"Fran Beltran netted an 86th-minute winner as Barcelona missed the chance to return to the LaLiga summit after slipping to a 2-1 defeat away to 10-man Girona on Monday. The spoils appeared set to be shared after Thomas Lemar had cancelled out Pau Cubarsi's opener, but Beltran came off the bench to deal Hansi Flick's team a huge title blow."
Barcelona slipped to a 2-1 defeat at 10-man Girona after Fran Beltran's 86th-minute winner. Lamine Yamal missed a first-half penalty when his strike cannoned off the post. Jules Kounde's delivery was headed in by Pau Cubarsi to give Barcelona the lead in the 59th minute, but Thomas Lemar equalised two minutes later from close range. Girona's winning goal stood after a VAR review. Joan Garcia produced important saves for Girona, Ronald Araujo nearly levelled in stoppage time, and Girona finished with ten men following Joel Roca's late red card.
