In their first La Liga home game in three weeks, Barcelona squared off with Girona.
After four games this season, Girona have been one of the most impressive teams in La Liga with seven points from four games including wins against both Villarreal and Celta Vigo. Even though they lost their top defender in Pablo Maffeo to VfB Stuttgart and manager Pablo Machin to Sevilla, Girona are defying the odds as they are looking for a second straight top 10 finish. With a young squad featuring Manchester City loanees Patrick Roberts, Aleix Garcia, and Douglas Luiz, Girona had their eyes on challenging Barca with their focus on coming away with the best performance in their club’s history.
