FC Barcelona is in a crisis this season that could leave them empty-handed. In La Liga, they suffered a tough 2-1 defeat against Girona, their fourth loss of the season, and Real Madrid moved into first place.
Girona were put on the back foot in the first half thanks to a goal from Pau Kubals, which also included a penalty miss from Lamine Yamal, which would have completely changed the course of the game.
Thomas Lemar, a player looking to revive his career, equalized for the home side in the 62nd minute, just three minutes after Barcelona’s goal, and Fran Bertolne sealed the victory for Girona in the 87th minute. João Garca was a standout for the away team, preventing a significant scoreline.
The result ended Girona’s three-game winless run and brought them an important point, moving them five points clear of the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Barcelona is trailing Real Madrid by two points in the La Liga title race.
Hansi Flick’s side have a long week ahead of them. He doesn’t play until Sunday against Levante, and the month ends with a LaLiga game against Villarreal. March will decide the rest of his chances in other tournaments.
