Barcelona continued their preseason preparations with another friendly against a Catalan rival, and they made it two wins from two at the Johan Cruyff Stadium thanks to a 3-1 victory against Girona. After a slow start the Blaugrana showed good things in both halves, and Memphis Depay had a strong showing and a goal in his Barça debut.
FIRST HALF
Barça had a slow start to the game and saw Girona dominate possession in the first 15 minutes, and although there weren’t any chances the visitors looked really solid with the ball. Then Riqui Puig and Yusuf Demir started to make their impact in the game and Sergiño Dest and Alejandro Balde began bringing danger from the full-back positions, and Barça took control.
