FC Barcelona has managed to beat Girona 4-1. The match, which was more difficult than desired, turned out perfectly despite the refereeing complications. Fermín ended up very angry despite having secured the three points: from the very beginning, it was clear that the refereeing would do everything possible to prevent the culer victory.
The first half started poorly, with an action that placed referee Pulido Santana in the eye of the storm. Initially, the referee called a very clear foul outside the area on Fermín López. He then decided to cancel it after being alerted by the VAR that it had occurred inside the area, , calling an offensive foul on the Andalusian midfielder.
Despite the clear refereeing against them, Barça was the master and lord of this match against Girona. A great free kick by Lamine Yamal opened the scoring before halftime, although Danjuma quickly equalized in the 53rd minute. However, a double from Lewandowski and a goal from Ferran Torres were key to securing the three points, preventing the red-and-whites from turning it around.
Fermín makes it clear to Lamine Yamal
Although they clearly and convincingly beat Girona, the truth is that Barça's locker room ended up very angry. Very upset with the performance of Pulido Santana, who tried to prevent the culer victory. It was clear from the first moment when he invented a foul by Fermín López to avoid calling a clear penalty in the red-and-whites' area.
After the match between Barça and Girona, and somewhat calmer, Fermín López and Lamine Yamal could be seen talking privately. "We'll have it very tough," was reportedly heard in Montjuïc. The truth is that this is how the culer locker room sees it: between yesterday's help to Real Madrid and today's difficulties against Girona, there is no doubt.
While in Madrid they talk about "the filthy Negreira League," the reality is completely different from the narrative. Real Madrid is helped, and Barça is attempted to be harmed, which was clearly seen this weekend. In the end, the important thing is that Hansi Flick's team remains in first place after clearly beating Girona 4-1, being the fairest result.
