The Catalan derby in the Spanish Championship ended with the defeat of the winger’s team of the Ukrainian national team.
Barcelona changed their own fans for their unsuccessful matches against Girona last season. Let’s remember that the Blaugranas lost twice in the championship in the Catalan derby with the same score of 2:4.
However, already in the first match of this La Liga championship, Hans-Dieter Flick completely outclassed the opponent, winning 4:1.
Just before the break in Barcelona, Lamin Yamal took a two-goal advantage by scoring a double. In the second half, Dani Olmo and Pedri brought the score to a crushing 4:0, and all the hosts could manage was a prestige goal from veteran Christian Stuani.
Ukrainian Viktor Tsygankov entered the game in Girona’s starting lineup and was substituted in the 70th minute. Barcelona continue to lead the La Liga standings with a 100% points record in five matches. Girona is in seventh place with seven points.
