Hi community!
Four goals and two posts. Barça were a machine against Girona at Montjuïc. They were so from the start, with Pedri, Eric, Gavi, and Fermín, who allowed a pressing that gave them total control, and also when a fresh and authoritative De Jong came on, taking advantage of the increased space left by Michel's team. In the midst of all this, Lamine and Lewy. The young Blaugrana striker was, once again, a spectacle with his magical football, the day Lewandowski once again established himself as one of the best strikers in the world.
Barça had 21 shots, nine of them on target, while Girona only had four, with two on target. Lewy's two goals were key, but for Barça, Lamine had seven shots, the Pole six, and Fermín four, in an offensive display. Lewandowski, however, was the one who had the most shots on goal: four times and twice, scoring. The center forward took advantage of the large number of stolen balls in the first half and the intelligent play that De Jong brought on later. Once again, we mustn't forget Pedri's excellent performance, and the fact that Ferran, whenever he comes on, always has a goal. He proved this again against a Girona side that was trailing in the first half and reacted for a few minutes, but Lewandowski's goals sank Michel's team, who found it very difficult to compete when Barça pulled away.
Michel was right in his analysis: "Barça were great in the first half, and yet they conceded in the second." The Blaugrana's pressure at the start was impressive against a team also accustomed to having possession. The Blaugrana players didn't let them have the ball and felt uneasy in an awkward match. The 'Flick Team' capitalizes on substitutions, with players like Eric, Gavi, and Fermín initially capable of executing intense pressure, only to eventually, with the introduction of De Jong or Ferran, thrash Girona. Barça's play was notable for a potential penalty on Fermín, which was doubtful whether it was in or out, but VAR ruled it was nothing. This time, the machine was working for a Barça with a great deal of confidence.
