Girona vs Barcelona live score, highlights: Barca seek to pad La ... (Sporting News)

Barcelona will look to extend their lead atop the La Liga table when they take on promoted side Girona in a Catalan derby match that promises to be intense.

It will also be [streamed in English and Spanish on ESPN+](http://go.web.plus.espn.com/jW2Gna). Barcelona match will be televised on TSN4 and streaming on TSN's online platforms. The match takes place at the sold-out Estadio Municipal Montilivi, where Girona have lost just two of their nine matches this season (vs. 35 mins from kickoff: This is the last match that Barcelona will have to do without Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, who are both out due to suspension. Girona 'keeper Paulo Gazzaniga gives the ball away in his own box (!!!) as Girona tries to play out of the back. Una pena la lesión del francés, que llega en su mejor momento de forma— Albert Rogé (@albert_roge) Pedri in for Dembele and it's Gavi who moves to take his place wide left with Pedri settling in as the right central midfielder. Another giveaway by the Girona backline (this time by Juanpe) and Ansu Fati fires a shot high. Both teams are imprecise with their passing, spaces are few, and the cold is not helping. Taty Castellanos goes in the referee's book for a high arm on Sergio Busquets as they both rose up for a header. — They sit in 12th place - four points from the relegation zone - and have played well, including earning a draw at Real Madrid.

Girona 0-1 Barcelona: Pedri's landmark, Raphinha's struggles and ... (The Athletic)

Barcelona rode their luck in picking up a third consecutive 1-0 La Liga win. The Athletic looks at the major talking points from the match.

The former [Manchester City](https://theathletic.com/football/team/manchester-city/) defender made his first league start in three months and looked strong. [Gavi](https://theathletic.com/football/player/gavi-9ACowrmXJKJKTUi5/). [Ansu Fati](https://theathletic.com/football/player/ansu-fati-BOx4DfG7j2tKSfEN/) in a central position normally occupied by the suspended [Robert Lewandowski](https://theathletic.com/football/player/robert-lewandowski-1zm2L0TuehI6gx0H/). He started the game as an attacking midfielder and ended up as a false nine — further proof of the squad problems Xavi had ahead of this game. In any phase of the match, though, Barcelona’s play improves if the ball is at his feet. Xavi saw the team needed a greater threat, and Alba was introduced in his place. Dembele’s injury played a role in it, for sure, and the Catalans tried to push through Raphinha on the other side. In the second half we needed something else there and Jordi Alba was very good.” Their passing accuracy in the final third, as well as the number of fouls won and fouls conceded has also worsened in his absence. “It’s impossible not to notice when you miss a player like Lewandowski,” Xavi said after the Girona win. It is fair to say he was one of his side’s worst performers, and will have done little to address concerns he is not living up to his significant price tag of last summer (£55m). The manager insisted on Friday that “Rapha will be important, we need every player”, but the 26-year-old did not impress.

Pedri started on the bench as Xavi rotated his lineup ahead of a week with games against Real Betis and Sevilla.

With what we saw on the field the defeat is not fair.” Pedri started on the bench as Xavi rotated his lineup ahead of a week with games against Real Betis and Sevilla. Girona, in 12th place, did nothing in attack until a late push. Pedri marked his 100th Barcelona appearance at the ripe age of 20 by scoring as a substitute to squeeze past Girona 1-0 on Saturday. Girona held the league front-runner in check until Pedri's fellow substitute, Jordi Alba, found him with a low cross at close range in the 61st. Pedri did so at 20 years, 2 months, 3 days.
