Barcelona clashed heads with Girona at the Estadi Montilivi earlier this evening as they hoped to secure a good result on the road in La Liga. Xavi’s men made a quick start to the game as they scored the opener in the third minute when Andreas Christensen got his name on the scoresheet. However, Artem Dovbyk equalised for the home team just a minute later before Robert Lewandowski put Barca ahead once again via the penalty spot in the first half injury-time. The Catalan club went into the half-time break 2-1 up on the scoreline.
