Barcelona: Hansi Flick set for touchline ban ahead of El Clasico after sending off in Girona win
""I didn't do anything against anyone," Flick insisted. "I applauded [Frenkie] de Jong on the first card, and on the second, I don't know why he gave it to me. I would never do anything against anyone. I didn't say anything against the referee. I applauded to cheer on my team. Now I don't think about missing El Clasico. The referee didn't want to talk to me, he left and I accepted it. He's the referee.""
"Ronald Araujo scored deep into second-half stoppage time to give Barcelona all three points at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys and lift the Catalan club - for 24 hours at least - to the top of LaLiga. Pedri had given the hosts the lead before Axel Witsel's sublime overhead kick brought the sides level before half-time. After the break, Barcelona dominated in large spells but, through a combination of wasteful finishing and dogged defending from the visitors, could not break their opponents down."
Barcelona secured a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Girona thanks to Ronald Araujo's 94th-minute winner at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. Pedri opened the scoring and Axel Witsel equalised with a sublime overhead kick before half-time. Barcelona dominated after the break but struggled to convert chances against Girona's organised defence. Manager Hansi Flick received a second yellow card late on for allegedly sarcastically applauding a referee decision and was sent off. Flick said he did not know why he was dismissed and denied any wrongdoing. Barcelona sit top of LaLiga but Real Madrid can reclaim first place with a win.
