Girona – Barcelona 0-1, 19th stage of La Liga

The first half brought the Catalans more misses, as well as an injury in the 26th minute of Ousmane Dembele, who wrote off muscle pain.

His replacement Pedri scored the winning goal in the 61st minute with a shot into an empty net that the Girona goalkeeper could not save.

Xavi’s wards received at least five yellow cards, and in stoppage time, the referee showed a red card to the home coach Michel for protesting.

Barcelona have 47 points and are six behind Real Madrid, who have a game in hand.
