Lamine Yamal Stars as Barcelona Thrash Girona 4-1 to Maintain Perfect LaLiga Start

Posted : 15 September 2024

Teenager Lamine Yamal shone as Barcelona cruised to a 4-1 victory over Girona, maintaining their perfect start to the LaLiga season. Yamal scored twice in the first half, with Dani Olmo and Pedri Gonzalez adding second-half goals to seal the win. Girona's Cristhian Stuani pulled one back for the hosts, who struggled after losing key players in the summer. This win was a significant improvement for Barcelona, who avenged two defeats to Girona last season.

 

Under the guidance of new coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona showed impressive form, with Yamal and Robert Lewandowski both threatening early on. Yamal's opening goal came after a defensive mistake from Girona, and he doubled his tally before halftime with a well-placed finish. Flick praised Yamal's pressing and focus, noting how the team maintained high intensity throughout the match. Girona had a penalty appeal overturned by VAR, adding to their frustrations.

 

In the second half, Dani Olmo scored his third goal in as many LaLiga matches with a fine strike from a tight angle. Pedri then capped off Barcelona's dominant performance, finishing smartly after being set up by Marc Casado. Girona's hopes of a comeback were dashed when Barcelona substitute Ferran Torres was sent off late in the game, though the match was already beyond reach by that point.

 

Despite the defeat, Girona's Cristhian Stuani remained optimistic, looking ahead to their Champions League debut against Paris Saint-Germain. He acknowledged the tough loss but stressed the importance of turning the page quickly and preparing for the historic upcoming match. Meanwhile, Barcelona's win keeps them atop the LaLiga standings, with Real Madrid trailing in second after their 2-0 win over Real Sociedad.
