"Barcelona are back to winning ways and are back on top of the La Liga table for at least 24 hours thanks to a dramatic 2-1 win againt Girona on Saturday's Catalan derby at the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium. Barça started well and took the lead before completely falling apart in the first half, but the Blaugrana never gave up and Ronald Araujo scored a 93rd minute winner to rescue all three points in a crucial victory for Hansi Flick and his troops. Flick came out with a different lineup and formation as Barça started the game in a 4-3-3 with young Toni Fernández as a false nine,"
"And the home team's dominance was rewarded with a beautiful opening goal as Lamine Yamal found Pedri inside the box and The Wizard came up with a magical finish as he passed the ball into the net off the post with his left foot and caught the entire defense off-guard, and the Blaugrana had a deserved lead thanks to their best player. Then, shockingly, Barça forgot to play and fell asleep completely and Girona were by far the better side for the rest of the half."
